Westwards along the north coast of Spain
Hi once again,
we have now left the biscay coast of spain and are on the atlantic coast so a quick run down of the last few weeks
30/8 we left the stunning Hondaribbia and fuelled up and headed west along the coast and moored up to a an old town quay in the town of Getaria ( all these bottom jokes ars now getaria) it was a very uncomfortable night as there was a big tide and had to get up twice to reposition.
31/8 we happily left the town quay it is a ...
Finisterre- the end of the earth, good bye boots!

First stop after leaving La Coruna
Hooray, we finally left La Coruna at 1.30pm on Saturday and arrived here after 8 hour sail. Dunikolu is back to her old self and you cannot notice the bottom surgery!
We found ourselves a beautiful place to stop for the night here in Ria de Laxe. Now we are back to the normal boat life for a day or two. I took my travel sickness pills and no ill effect so far. We had a great sail here too.
