Our position is 43:32.81N 05:40.09W
 
Arrived Gijon at 10:15 LT. The delay in sending this entry is down to the very bureaucratic check in and the cooking and eating of a large fried brunch.
Yesterday was a splendid days sailing although still largely close hauled. The night started well with light wind and an easy close reach but deteriorated on Peters watch and we ended the night with small headsail and double reefed main. Easy entrance to the port which was only complicated by a large dredger which preformed pirouettes in front of us and later the tightest of approaches to the pontoon birth, unidentifiable until passed.
 
We are pleased to report that the boat and crew are in good shape after quite a hard passage.
