Adios Portugal, Hola Espana!
We awoke to a beautiful peaceful scene on the Rio Guadiana. The river is over 20 miles long and quite wide but the channel is narrow in places so care is required to ensure there is plenty of water under … Continue reading
Baiona
We awoke to beautiful sunshine and had a lazy morning before sailing over to Baiona (about ten miles away). It was a lovely, gentle sail downwind (wind behind us pushing us along). We have a place in the Real Nautica … Continue reading

The Rias of Galicia
It was another sunny start to the day but sadly, with very little wind so we motored the 65 miles from Gijon to Ribadeo, the first of the Galician Rias. We are currently in a marina just inside the estuary … Continue reading
Au Revoir France, Hola Espana!
