�� Yeehah! My first attempt at speaking Spanish and I was understood. J I paid the marina bill while Si was busy at the chart table. We had an epic voyage planned for today � an hour or so across to the other side of the ria. Although sunny it was rather chilly with the wind gusting F7. I wasn�t expecting this now we are in �sunny Spain�. The ria is beautiful and full of viveros � large wooden constructions from which they harvest mussels. The colourful fishing boats go back and forth all day collecting them so it�s obviously a very efficient way the grow them. We moored in Vilagarcia around midday and set off to explore the town.

�� I have to say it wasn�t the prettiest of towns but we found a lovely castle and got a feel for the place. We paused for a late lunch of tapas in a bar and both shattered returned home for a nap. We were both really tired today and after an early light dinner Si went straight to bed. I stayed up to type up my journal in the hope we will have some internet access soon. I�m dying to Skype my babies.����� ---Lini---
