I thought this might either interest or depress
anybody reading this:
1 litre wine in a box(like a milk carton) between
0.6 & 0.92C
5 litre wine in a plastic
barrel
E4.55
Galician
melon
E1.15
pack of local
tomatoes
E1.35
sliced
bread
0.55c
pimientos (small, green peppers for
tapas) 0.99c
can of San Miguel
(33cl) 0.47c
cucumber
0.41c
If it's any consolation, the bread is not as tasty
as UK bread & definitely not a patch on French bread. The veg is not as
'nicely' presented or sorted for size & shape as you would find in a UK
supermarket, which probably says something about the Brits! The wine is
emminently drinkeable. I keep trying to find a bad one, but no luck so
far.....I'll just have to keep looking.
I'm planning on moving down the Ria in the next day
(or so). The ship is fully provisioned, I'll take on water just before I leave
and have a meal prepared so I don't have to cook 'on the go'. I've worked out
the tides, entered the waypoints in the chart plotter and have a 'bolt-hole in
mind in case the weather cuts up rough en route. It will be an epic voyage
of approximately 3.5nm, the stuff of a Norse Saga! Wow, will I be able to
cope?
