We pulled up our Anchor Saturday 30th August and sailed out of La Coruna bay headed for the Island of Sisargos 43:21.41N 8:50.26W 

 

It was a pretty straight forward day, not a lot of wind but enough for us to make good speed as the Low pressure system moved over us. We did plan to sail out of our anchorage at 7:30 AM but having been woken by the anchor chain and endured thunder and lighting all night (and I mean all night) none of us were in any shape to get up and sail off. It was raining hard to top it off and I thought the boat was about to sink it came down so hard.

 

It was not long way to go and being in a big city is not a lot of fun having limited places to come to shore so we headed for our small anchorage on the island of Sisargos. The place is so small that there is about enough room for 3 or 4 boats to anchor so we dropped our hook in and jumped pretty much immediately off the boat in to the crystal clear water. That is if you neglect all of the plastic that the Spanish waters seem to be so famous for.

 

We have enough food and drink on board for another couple of days so we are in no hurry and I think this Saturday night will be spent drinking and eating around the dinner table. 

 

 

Special comments by Fiona: Not a lot to say really.  Another night at anchor in another beautiful spot.
