Well, the forecast this morning was SW F3-4 with 
slight sea. Troutbridge & I put on a display of mutual confidence and 
decided to 'go for it', the search for Lurch having drawn a blank in Laxe. It 
was a fairly miserable trip in terms of being overcast and drizzling most of the 
time. Cabo Villano looked particularly 'Villanous' as it occasionally appeared 
out of the low cloud, but now at anchor just off the town of Camarinas the sun 
has come out and the wind has dropped. The forecast for once was spot on and 
despite having to motor all the way (again!) we made the trip anchor to anchor 
in 5hours and ten minutes. As a bonus radio 4 reception is much better here than 
Laxe.
