After 1124 miles we made fast in Muros at 1420 on Monday, 9 September to be met by Grace and Angie.
 
The last  part of the journey continued with a mix of light winds and drizzle, until we came into sight of land.  At that point the sun came out and the temperature started to rise – albeit rather slowly.  We were able to sail the last part into the Ria – which looks very beautiful.
 
We tried again with the fishing rod – having patched the reel using fibreglass to try and hold it together.  It didnt work and so, reluctantly we have put it away and reconciled ourselves to not having any fresh fish on this journey.  By way of commiseration we had the Fray Bentos Steak & Ale pie for our last dinner on board.  The fish in Muros would turn out to be very good in any event.
 
So, Water Music is now back in mainland Europe after the end of her Atlantic adventure – having covered just under 8000 nautical miles since leaving Gibraltar in November last year.
