EvelynB - To the Sun

Tuesday 9^th July 2013

Morning spent doing chores and returning the hire car. Major system of one-way streets in Vigo made navigation difficult. Set off about 13:00 motoring in hot sunshine, flat sea and very little wind.

17:00 - cross the border into Portugal.

The fog comes down at around midnight and we spend the night dodging the many fishing boats and coastal traffic using AIS and RADAR. The Rear Admiral is awake the whole night, lesser mortals grab the occasional hour of sleep. Fog recedes in late morning to allow us to enter the marina at Figueira da Foz (40:08.84N, 008:51.58W) for lunch and a rest!
