A tyring day for all.  Skies cloudy all the time, occasional rain, and poor visibility.  The winds are stronger than forecast, so we have had to reduce sail and are running with two reefs in the mainsail.  Making good progress, however, towards our probable landfall which may well be La Coruna.  High point of the day was undoubtedly the dolphins – several pods came up and swam on our bow wave, darting under the boat and popping up the other side.  Fabulous to watch.  Tried to get some photos, but think all I have is lots of murky sea.
