We are on our way to A Coruña. We are motoring. Very little wind.
Half an hour ago we met British saling yacht “Ascension”. We had to make a
little diversion not to run into them! We had a nice chat on the vhf. They
are also heading for A Coruña, but they had already been sailing for 4 days from
England. They had motored for two days, and were now a little low on fuel, so
they went on sailing, even if their spinnaker just would stand up.
We have a pleasant crossing som far, except from the motoring. The day is
hot, so we had to set up the bimini, What a nice difference! We have met
dolphins. Of course. You allways do that in Biscaya. Light clouds last night did
not stop the light from the nearly full moon. Now the sun is bright. And last
night we used one layer less of cothes. We expect som light headwinds the last
miles in, so we head a little to the west of A Coruña, to have a better angle
in. Maybe some sailing? |
