We are now on the way to Porto,
Portugal.
Last night in La Coruna, in a small local seafood
restaurant... It was a dinner to remember !
La Coruna is a small but very civilized city. Quite
some industrialization on the seaside, and LOTS of fishing.
We found a Turkish guy from Tunceli in his
"Capadocia" Doner Kebap restaurant, who has been living there for 10 years !
This is getting weird... After meeting the only Turkish guys (5 of them) in
Jersey, an island of 90K people, having a (actually, two) Doner House... We
wonder if we can find any Doner Kebap house in Porto !
We were supposed to wake up early and get going
this morning, but somehow nobody woke up (no wonder after being shaken like that
during the leg to La Coruna!) and we left the Marina Coruna at around 9:30 local
time (GMT 8:30).
Again, we are motoring... But this time along the
coast of Spain, and soon Portugal. Our computers say we will be in Porto, in the
marina tomorrow morning, around 6:00.
We expect some showers today. We already had 2, but
at the time of this writing, the sun is shining and everything feels like a nice
summer day. We know rain will be back before the end of the day... The
swells from the Atlantic Ocean are still there anyway and motoring through
them makes all of us a little uncomfortable, but it's a lot better than the Bay
of Biscay !
We're all looking forward to actually SAIL the
boat, it seems like we'll have the chance in an hour or so, when we reach our
next waypoint and turn further south. __________ Information from ESET NOD32 Antivirus, version of virus signature database 3832 (20090206) __________ The message was checked by ESET NOD32 Antivirus. http://www.eset.com |
