We have 125 miles to go to reach the Ria de Vigo. It is 1300BST and we are gently sailing under spinnaker, making about 4 knots over the ground in 8 knots of breeze.
 
The ocean, however, is rather influenced by some big weather out to the west and giving us something to think about, wih a large, benign looking swell from our port quarter. The kite, needless to say, is frequently emptied of wind, so requires consant trimming.
 
We expet the breze to clock right later in the afternoon, and increase slightly, which will probably help.
 
So, on current progress, one more night at sea, and we ought to be at anchor by mid morning....
Boat and crew all fine..
