Friday 30th July
Another breezy morning with a cloudless sky.
Yesterdays sail from Portosin took us down the coast on a run in decent winds for most of the way. Fell a bit light later so with the prospect of a reach into the Ria later we added the main to the boomed out genoa and goosewinged our way around the rocks. Took the rock stewn short cut into the Ria de Arosa and passed Aguino (B,K,&G will remember the moving trawlers!) and headed for Sta Uxia de Riveira, which has been one of our less successful choices. Marina berth open to the strong NE wind which seems to arrive just after we are in bed, and a town that would make Bedworth seem sophisticated.  However we did find watching the large fleet of deep sea fishing boats coming back into harbour and unloading to the waiting refrigerated trucks quite impressive and there is a beach and lovely views of the ria
Ate well on board as little on offer ashore.
