For those of you who have been stalking us on Marinetrak or reading this blog you may wonder why Marita is pointing north.
We have for a number of reasons decided not to go down to Lagos or indeed leave the boat in the Spanish rias but instead bring her home so here we are back in Camarinas about to launch ourselves across Biscay tomorrow morning (Monday). We will go to France (not sure where but where the wind takes us) and then make our way north and back across the Channel to Flushing.
We left Sanxenxo on Thursday morning as the wind was forecast to turn northerly and blow force 6 to 7 for several days. The forecast was a southerly wind turning west with some mist.
It was clear for the first few hours and then deteriorated to a peasouper! 
We both kept a look out on either side of the boat which was just as well as the crew spotted this fishing boat as it loomed out of the fog——there were in fact two fishing boats as we passed another one a few minutes later. They were not on AIS.
However the fog rolled away and we arrived in Camarinas 
Tom and family had meanwhile left their Air b&b and came up to Camarinas for Saturday night, via a visit to Santiago de Compostela.  We had an excellent fish supper in one of our favourite restaurants (Puerto Arnela).
We went out to the lighthouse (Cabo Vilan) where the views were spectacular———last time we were here in 2013 one could not see the top of the lighhouse for fog!
