We have moved after a restful few days in La
Coruna: having provisioned the boat, (El Supermercado), had a few brisk walks
and a long cycle round the headland. There was no WIFI we could access, so the
stunning pictures will have to wait! La Coruna is a great place to stop after
the crossing, but as a large busy city, is not the sort of place for an extended
stay, not our kinda thuyng!
The weather has been strange due to a stationary
low west of Portugal which seemed to produce SW winds in the morning and nice N
sea breezes in the afternoon: Not yesterday however, when we decided to move;
steady on the nose with grey damp choppy conditions. We are really saving up
some stunning sailing to come in the near future.
We are actually now anchored in a small, but very
pleasant ria with a couple of other boats. Lovely beach, small fishing village,
all we need to complete the scene is some warmer sunshine.
At least we have "Jennifer", the wind
generator, working again (x) hopefully, after discovering a slightly dodgy
switch. She is now happily bashing amps into the batteries with this fresh
breeze (good girl!).
Christine did in all fairness manage a couple of
bikini hours yesterday, so the weather, is not awful, but very changeable from
hot with blue skies to grey and windy ....... where's those Caribbean trades
"mon".
We tried the Tuna lure on the way, and guess what
we caught some seaweed .... still that was the first outing, and anyway we are
not sure if the gaff we bought in Falmouth is going to be big enough, these
small tuna are very big! (OK so we have to catch one first, but a bit of
planning is important).
Well fresh coffee beckons so more
soon.
Love C2 afloat
