It's now Friday the 8th July and we have a big day of
washing clothes and cleaning the boat as we are all off home tomorrow. I am
leaving Christine here until the 18th July when I'll be joined by Sean for the
sail onto Lagos.
We arrived here in Muros on Wednesday afternoon
after a lovely day's sail down from Muxia which had started with the wind
blowing fairly hard but ended with us motoring up the Ria de Muros in brilliant
sunshine and no wind. We were met in the marina by the very friendly
and efficient Pedro. Then a few minutes after tying up we had a visit from
the Spanish customs and so had the laborious job of getting their forms
completed. Then off to Pedro's office to get another set of forms completed
covering all the same subjects. Despite all that everyone was very friendly and
welcoming.
Yesterday we ventured back out into the Ria for a day
sail and a tryout of the parasailor in the light wind. After a very stressful
couple of hours of hauling it up and down again, laying it out on deck to
sort out the tangles and then finding twisted when it first opened out we did
finally get it flying and working perfectly. With that we thought we had learnt
enough and with the land approaching we hauled the snuffer down and dropped it
all back under the forward bunk where it lives. Having had enough stress for one
day we scurried back into the marina for lunch.
breakfast now and then on with the cleaning.
Peter, Skipper.
