Monday, October 16, 2006
Got here to La Coruna Friday night in calm weather and about 25 degrees. We had a nice trip over the very well-known Biscay Bay. Lots of dolphins were cruising with us for hours. Every night we saw the green flash on the horizon and after that the amazing sky uninterrupted city lights. Strange how many falling stars you can see once you get out there and the moon light who makes it almost feel like daytime.
Feels pretty good to be in some warmer weather, but there is a storm around the corner so we´ll have to stay here until Friday.
The forecast promised 20-25 m/s (40-50 knots) of wind and waves between 5-6 meters (15-20 feet) with occasional 10 meters (35 feet) as well.
It´s a nice little town with a lot of places for tapas and sangrias and if you know me well you know I´ve been to several of them by now. Tons of seafood of course and great surf too. Too bad I don´t have a board with me.
After this place we´re heading south towards Gibraltar and maybe with a stop in Lisboa.
Sorry I haven´t posted any pictures yet, but they´re coming later.
Thanks to all of you that have replied and I hope you are all doing well and that I get to see you soon again. I´m going to be tied up with this job for awhile, but will for sure try to see you guys in the States as soon as I can.
So long for now and take care,
Tim

Also be careful when drinking Sangria!
Julie told me about what happened in Spain after her visit. Keep your face well guarded from drunken Spainards! :)
