Our position is 42:33.78N 08:59.36W
Friday 30th July
Another breezy morning with a cloudless
sky.
Yesterdays sail from Portosin took us down the
coast on a run in decent winds for most of the way. Fell a bit light later so
with the prospect of a reach into the Ria later we added the main to the boomed
out genoa and goosewinged our way around the rocks. Took the rock stewn short
cut into the Ria de Arosa and passed Aguino (B,K,&G will remember the moving
trawlers!) and headed for Sta Uxia de Riveira, which has been one of our less
successful choices. Marina berth open to the strong NE wind which seems to
arrive just after we are in bed, and a town that would make Bedworth seem
sophisticated. However we did find watching the large fleet of deep sea
fishing boats coming back into harbour and unloading to the waiting refrigerated
trucks quite impressive and there is a beach and lovely views of the
ria
Ate well on board as little on offer
ashore.
