Left the Barra anchorage and headed up to Cangas
but the marina there was full and there seemed little point in anchoring off an
inferior beach! Headed back down the Ria Vigo which I had expected to be a
disappointment but in fact is very beautiful although developed along the
shoreline. Headed down to Bayona at the mouth of the Ria which has a lovely
Yacht Club marina and we berthed there but we could only stay one night as they
were fully booked. An RCC contact Alberto very kindly delivered the
repaired wind generator that had been sent to him and came with his wife
Jenny (I had met her parents in Loch Aline last summer!) and their small son
Pablo and we had a walk around the castle walls
and then some tapas at the yacht club. We also met a Japanese couple cruising
their McCurdy designed black Hinckley 42 who are heading to Scotland next year.
Seriously hot weather even the locals are commenting on!
We moved to the new "Puerto Deportivo" and explored
the narrow streets of the old town and inevitably ended up having
lunch!
        
      Thursday - small boat jobs and organised a berth
down near Porto where we are headed tomorrow and will leave Moonbeam for a few
days while we fly back to the North of England to see Dad
(W).
