Casamara - Then there were two....

Then there were two....

Casamara

John & Susan Simpson

Tue 7 Aug 2018 11:41

Vilagarcia de Arousa was where six became two, when the junior Simpsons took the train back to Santiago di Compostela for their flight home. We had another lovely sail back towards to Vigo where we would leave Casamara to be collected by friends Geoff and Graham to bring her home.

We spent a few days relaxing anchored off Praia de Barra close to Cangas.
