Next day we left Muxia.
Weather forecast anticipated poor visibility(fog).

For those of you that are not much aware with sailing, this area is known as the Coast of Death.
Biscay Bay always is tricky and now we were going to round Cape Finisterre.

Lovely sunny morning turned very soon in nasty weather, 25 knots of wind and no visibility( 50 mts the most)

Couple of hours of bad weather and as soon as we cleared the Cape, visibility and weather condition improved. If rounding Finisterre in a good day was like that cannot imagine what would it be in a storm!

Long day, not much to add,arrived at night to Bayona, where we anchored along with our american friends(their boat name is Fellina)

Here below Columbus Pinta replica.
Good rest and day after towards Portugal/Nazare
