Title: Departed 1330 29/7/2011

We left Plymouth Yacht Haven at 1.30pm, heading for Coruna. Motoring into a gentle SW wind, hoping the wind does what was advertised and comes around to the North when we are further from shore.

When we get closer we may decide to go directly around Finisterre into the Spanish Rias, but decision point is about 3 days away at the moment. At our current fuel economy speed it will take 4 days to get there.
