We motored against very strong winds and current up from Muros to Camarinas.
It was a 35nm trip and at times we were only making less than 2 knots over
the ground. It was a bit tough.
Anyway by mid afternoon we were in the marina at camarinas and met up with
some charming Irishmen [going South] and even more charming Welsh crew
[going North]. The welsh crew of 4. 3 J109 racers who probably took no
prisoners and the very charming owner. the racers were helping to bring the
owner's boat back from Lagos on the Algave where it has been a sailing
holiday home in the sun. If we had it tough they had it far worse as they
had much further to travel and having hoped to bring the boat home to wales
they were only going to make la Corunna, also they had no lee cloths. anyway
they left ahead of us today and are probably closing Corunna now.
We are off to Corunna tomorrow and weather forecast looks good and quite
mild so hero status on the passage I hope. [for which I am very grateful]
i write this from a bar in Corme which is a bit rough but at least it has
wifi that works. The TV is on and no one watching and the card players have
left now as I was sure that aknife would be drawn it was so loud and
exciting!
