Well Blog that's it - after >11000 miles (nearly half way round the world) and many adventures in the last 13 months finally got back in the early hours this morning. Here is a picture of good ol' Blighty in the distance at 2100 hrs last night
 
Had an easy Biscay crossing with Brian Ford who was an excellent crew. 67 hours for 420 miles for about half of which we motored and the rest enjoyed great sailing with the Code 0 up a lot.
 
 
That after 4 excellent sunny days in the northern Rias of Coruna, Cedeira, Barqueiro and Viveiro. Gosh the water was cold tho' we swam in a temp of 17deg or so - much colder than the last visit to this part of Spain in August 2 years ago The final night in Viveiro great fun with Radiance alongside (John and Rosemary, George and Fi on board) and an tapas meal ashore.
 
Pictures of Brian and myself with the flags of the 13 counties I have visited in the last year, in the marina at Plymouth this morning
 
 
 
Quite an adventure in all - especially the single handed trip from the Azores to la Coruna
