Firstly, here are the pix that relate to the days
before our arrival at Bayona. Firstly, Finisterre, as improved by Abobe
(the weather was much duller than the pic gives credit..)
 Then the anchorage at Porto Novo, in the Ria
Pontevedra. As you can see, we were anchored just off a small beach,
sheltered from the NW wind.
 We set off early on Tuesday morning, as the wind
was forecast to get up by lunchtime. as indeed it did! We took the
inshore passage between the mainland and the Islands, with the wind behind us
reaching about 20 knots. It was sporty! The scenery was
spectacular.
 By the time we reached Bayona (after more pilotage
practice) the wind was becoming really quite strong and we had to fight to get
the sails down in the Bayona bay. We were escorted into the marina by a
marinero, and guided to a berth the was downwind and quite explosed. We're
moored next to a German boat named Argo, complete with shops' dog named
Hannah!
