Sunday
A beautiful morning in Espasante!   Zero wind though and after breakfast we motored out of the Ria which has some remote houses and roads again reminiscent of the West Coast of Scotland.
 
     
 
Not long though before we were in fog again but close inshore we had no worry about commercial shipping and it was not long before we were in Ria de Cedeira which again is a combination of rugged cliffs, wooden slopes and lovely beaches.
 
  entrance to the Ria
 
     
 
 Anchored behind the harbour wall in Cedeira which is very sheltered and to our surprise there were eventually half a dozen other yachts. A hot and sunny afternoon with bands of fog coming in.
Late afternoon we had a walk around the town .
 
     
 
     
 
         
 
Quiet evening until the fireworks , horns and people cheering. We assumed that Spain had won!
 
Monday
 
First thing we looked out to see a German yacht next to us had snagged a mooring with his anchor and was in a bit of difficulty. We offered to help but by that time he was in the water diving on his anchor.He said he would manage so we went off for our walk along the cliffs.
 
 
 
  
 
 
 
 The next stop is La Corunna, 30 miles to the SW but the forecast is threatening fresh SW so we may just stay a while!
