Still waiting for the winds to change

Slainte! Partying with the lads from Mayo. Today, we had a brief westerly which got us excited, and many boats left heading south. But it was soon back to northerly and building, and back to grey skies as well. We had a slow start this morning - 10:30 local time - as we had been up late yesterday with the 7 Irish lads delivering the Cashin's  X-Static to Portosin. We had drinks at the marina bar, super tapas dinner at El Real, then drinks aboard Aleria afterwards. Gerry, a British solo sailor who tied up next to us yesterday, invited himself over last night as he figured he wouldn't be able to sleep with the ruckus we were making. What fun!

Exploring lovely A Coruña

A Coruna from the Castillo Museum We had no idea A Coruña was so big. Our impression before coming here was that it was a small port with large resorts and people sitting around pools sipping drinks with umbrellas. Maybe we'll find that on the other side where the beaches are. We haven't made it that far. Both of us immediately had the impression that it was more akin to Lisbon in flavour than Spain.
