Up early to see Dan off by taxi to the airport.
It's been a useless sailing day with thick fog and no wind but nothing stops
Graptolite heading south. We crept out of Caramarinas and rounded the
lighthouse of Cape Finisterre close in to the rocks to the sound of a fog
horn thoughtfully provided for the more electronically challenged boats.
By early evening we arrived at the approach to the Ria de Arousa and dropped
the anchor in the harbour of the small fishing village of Corrubedo. The
multifunctional Ian dived down to check the anchor and baked a loaf of bread
while the skipper flounced about in a new wetsuit.
