Up EARLY- alarm went off at 05.30 and up very soon
after. Up anchor and left the bay of Cedeira at 06.45. At that time here it is
still pretty dark which takes a bit of getting used to when you are more used to
West of Scotland summer mornings! Luckily the wind did not pick up as
forecasted and the swell was less than expected and for once we could
see the shoreline.

It was only 28 miles to La Corunna and we
berthed at the brand new marina which has good facilities and pretty girls in
reception who speak English!
    transport available to berth !
La Corunna is a traditional staging post for
cruising yachts and the new marina is well set to provide for them.
We had a walk in the old town which is
attractive and we managed to avoid the trams!
