La Coruna - Milestone 2
Tamarisk
Sat 6 Aug 2005 14:14
arrived at La Coruna at 1800 on Friday 5th. Brad and Hayden Hurst, who
sailed their boat, Windharp, all the way to the Caribbean and back a
couple of years ago, joined us as extra crew. And both were an enormous
help. We sailed most of the 487 miles. There were good NE or E winds.
One night we had to motor. And there were strong winds as we approached
the Spanish coast - gusting 33. Before setting off we had a couple of
great evenings with Tim´s cousin Rob, who lives near Feoch, and his
partner Jane and her daughter Isobel. Rob was also a great help fixing a
problem with the stop-cocks before we set off. More details to follow.
