Court Short

Wonderman has done it again - the igniter is working and the cooker is back in one piece.  Many thanks to Julian from GN Espace for sending the spare part so quickly and for giving instructions so that we actually managed to complete the job without the help of Ray Williams!  This must be a […]

In the absence of a launderette anywhere in the near vicinity in Vigo we abandoned the marina on Saturday and set off for Barra beach where we set up our own private Doby Department!    No idea what the locals thought but the wind was gusting 28kts so our washing took no time at all […]

We captured this photo in the early hours of Saturday morning as Edward and Verity left Vigo marina.  The barriers to the car park were shut so they resorted to a bit of Macedonian driving and took to the pavements and pedestrian crossing to get onto the road!

What a totally wonderful experience to see dolphins at play in such a spectacular fashion.  We went to Ensenada da Barra yesterday and had a great sail (20nm) and were then treated to a spectacular display on arrival in the bay by a large pod of dolphins.   Edward caught this picture of 3 in the […]

We popped across to the other islands just to check them out and found absolutely loads of campers, visitors by ferry and visiting yachts and motorboats.  Not our idea of an island paradise.  We'd gone ashore with a picnic but decided to have it on board instead and search out a less populated beach!   We […]

We anchored off Isla de San Martin mid afternoon – we weren’t the only people with this idea!  We were a little disappointed after hearing so much about these idyllic islands.   We counted 72 other yachts, so don’t come here in search of your desert island!   We swam and then went ashore to find […]

Well you could say we are upping the anti in the fishing stakes – James managed to collect a few scallops and a sea slug!   Sadly none were edible!   The scallops were very disappointing once opened but we are not deterred and shall continue our endeavours to procure free food!   We left Moana late morning […]

Great day with Edward and Verity.  A combination of lazing, (well there was a bit of supplies shopping for the galley slave, ably assisted by the Skipper) sleeping (well that was one male member of crew and the Skipper) and sailing which involved all the team.   We are now anchored off the marina at […]

We weighed anchor in the early afternoon and gently sailed to Vigo where, after a very narrow dog-leg entrance, we moored up.   Edward and Verity arrived looking very fresh and chirpy considering their long drive.   We’re heading off tomorrow to show them some of the sights and the beautiful unspoilt beaches of Galicia.

Hooray!!  Finally!  At last!  Not one fish but TWO.    Now the burning question - are they edible?   This is not a competition!  We need to know and then, if they are edible, Claire needs to know how to cook them!
