Fist, apolgies, dear reader. Our best intentions to
post news on our progress across the famed Bay of Biscay were thwarted by an
inomplete education in the ways and wherefores of Windows XP and the Satphone
modem.
Anyway, we arrived late on Saturday, after a swift
crossing, with a building breeze from the north west, which went first left, to
the west, then a big right shift to the north east, and we surfed into the bay
of La Coruna in 27 Kt of the stuff!
And, from about 35 mles out, the sea built into
some big waves reminiscent of our last Atlantic adventure.
Sunday was a tidying and admin day, fixing our
communiations, and so on. Then an evening meal in the "old own" and a chance to
soak up some Spanish atmosphere...the Sunday evening promenade is really quite
something. For the record, we enjoyed a fine parillade..a sort of mixed
grill....for two, preceded by starters of ham egg and chips, Spanish style, and
some roasted peppers..quite suficient, thank you.....while Belgium prevailed
over Hungary in the Euro 16 championship.
We have become aquainted with our next door
neighbours- Dave and Mike, from Ilfracombe, who are taking their long keeled
boat, Sapphire, down to Gibraltar for the summer.
Now, we are off to do some shopping to victual
Persephone for the next few days...
