Our position is 43:40.11N 07:35.68W
 
We set off this morning aiming to do a short hop to Ribidero but the winds were so good (15 knots Easterly) that we ran gull winged at a prodigious speed right to Ria de Viveira which is where we are now. With any luck Viveira will provide a supermarket which is open first thing in the morning which is just as well as we are getting down on fresh food. Fortunately the beer locker is well stocked.
 
We have seen almost no other boats on the way here - it makes you wonder whether all the others know something we don't. Still it makes a change from Devon.
 
The coastline hereabouts is rugged and dotted with many wind turbines. The Ria is glorious.
