Ria de Vigo

Hello there!

We finally have internet access again so we can update you.

When we left la Coruna, our plan was to get as quick as possible to Vigo wich we heard was a very nice city. But for there was quite little wind we didn't get far and stayed in Laxe where we found a mooring.

The next day there was no wind either, so we went on the engine to finisterre. On our way we discovered what we read about in the Reeds almanac before. A very dense mistbank which builds up very quickly. all of a sudden we couln't see anything at all and were very lucky to have a gps with us.
As we passed the cape we came out of the mist wich obviously was blocked by the mountains and we took a mooring again.

From Finisterre we went straight to the Ria de Vigo. On our way we had our first big catch: A bonito ( kind of tuna) of about 60 cm. We started the bbq later and had a great dinner.
Our first night there we took a mooring at the beach right in front of one of the Islas des Cies (norte), which are very beautiful.
Later we stayed in different marinas and found another beautiful place to anchor.

We got to know one very friendly staff member of one of the marinas who showed us the local nightlife and we had a magnificent night. Thank you!

Last monday we finally received our parcel from germany including mainly a new laptop, an inflatable canoe ( replacement for lost dinghy) and a fridge.
