Tioram 4

Tina & Tony

Tue 16 Jun 2009 19:43

We have now sailed 500 miles and have enjoyed good winds and warm sunshine for the whole of today. The Spanish coast appeared at 0800 this morning, the NE wind picked up and we were surfing down towards Cape Finisterre all morning.

We then called into Ria de Muros and anchored in a beautiful sandy bay - Ensenada de San Francisco - to make the repairs at the masthead. Captain Tony went up the mast and replaced the spinnaker blocks and re-ran the lines.

We are now on our way south with 15/20kts of northerly breeze giving us a good run towards a waypoint off Lisbon - 220 miles away.

We have been overrun by Dolphins in the last 24 hrs. Some at night have been amazing leaving a trail of phosphorescence as they play around Tioram.

All aboard send their love.

Tina, Tony, John and Rob
