Fabulous morning, crystal clear air, very muddy anchor - sorted by Jayne who put it back into the water till it was clean.

Big swell offshore, fishing boats disappearing from view, hot sun, and then...... We turned off the engines and the clothy flappy things, including the Naughty Sail, did their thing.

A brisk reach up Portovedra Ria, hitting 8 knots at times, and then disaster - a "hat overboard" situation rescued by Horatio Jeram-Croft. Sadly still no fish though.

Jayne was foredeck monkey all day, even wrestling with the battens and putting the mainsail back into it's sleeping bag.

We are now in the delightful village of Cambarro, in a pleasant marina, looking forward to Jayne demonstrating her culinary skills again.
