There are a number of these in Sardineiro but we haven't spotted any elsewhere - their purpose remained a mystery until today but all has now been revealed! If you haven't already guessed, here's the answer
What a great sail we had in very light winds but with Red Passion flying and Humphrey working his ticket (having been in bed for the last two days!) we were able to relax and enjoy the view. Needless to say no fish in sight - although we did have dolphins to see us off […]
We took the bikes ashore and explored Portosin – more higgledy-piggeldy streets with a few shops tucked away in unlikely corners. No church to be seen but we did spot a Supermercado (at the top of a hill so out of our reach!). We had another King Canute issue! You’d think we’d have learnt about […]
Well we didn’t get far yesterday – a whole 4.6nm! However, well worth the move as we have dropped an anchor in a bay on the Portosin side of the Ria without a yacht in sight. Bliss! James did check out the prices in the marina, which although less expensive than Muros, were still considerably […]
We thought we'd award £10 to the favourite charity of anyone who can guess what James was doing! There is always something that needs sorting on a boat! Today, the mist has descended on the town - typical Galician weather, we're told - so we've been sightseeing. Moving on tomorrow. There are a few more […]
We left Sardineiro to have a peek around the corner at Corcubion. After a cracking sail with the boat creaming through the water at 8 knots despite a reefed jib, and 2 reefs in the main, we arrived in the Bay of Corcubion. What a disappointment! Derelict warehouses, commercial port and modern buildings. We did […]
An amazing sea mist greeted us first thing in the morning but we decided to head off rather than wait for it to burn off …. Famous last words! The mist became fog and was with us for virtually the whole day only clearing when we actually came to round Cape Finisterre. We spent 8½ […]
We found a great little tavern for our evening meal in La Coruna - went there by bike, of course! We then departed at midday for Corme, having caught up with Paul Molyneaux! What a great surprise. We had a good view of Hercules Tower - all of it! Then on to Corme with lots […]
It felt like a Good Housekeeping experiment – take the filthiest pair of shorts imaginable and put in oval shaped canister. Add 4 litres of water and a dash of washing up liquid. Agitate for 3 minutes and then inspect. Change water, agitate again for a minute. Change water once more and agitate for a […]
