saw 7 yachts. Lots of cargo ships which with the AIS we could easily avoid
even before they were visible.
The Spanish have been quite charming to us bearing in mind I only know one
Spanish word 'creveca'. At last we found wifi in the marina at Fontran
[beside La Corunna] but I could not get it to work, so we went off to an
internet Café who only allowed you to use their machines. As my magnum opus
was on my lap top the little girl in charge almost took me to the internet
café.
There my problems began again. I ordered a beer, no problem, and yes I could
use my lap top but I could not get it to work. The motherly lady behind the
bar got a customer, a 15year old boy who sorted me out in seconds!! I got my
blog away. Then the good Lady of the house came back and said I know not
what and I got a very good tapas.
We are now on our way south and into the rias which from the pilot books
look a lot of fun
The cuisine on board has been excellent, no thanks to me, but to Tina.
Ralphs wooden lee board has worked wonders and almost all the time.
Spanish navtext broadcast from La Corunna has not worked for us even in La
Corunna.
The local wines are excellent. PS the inhabitants of Ushant are not to be
noted for their taste in wine but rather their liking for turpentine
