Aleria's Adventures

Our boat overwintered in Galicia at Astilleros Lagos, where they did a bit of work on her. New batteries and charging system, fixed a few deck leaks, serviced our engines, had our sails repaired, etc. When we left her, we flew out of Vigo to Dublin. But in the meantime, Ryanair cancelled service to Vigo and so we had to fly to Santiago de Compostella, which of course extended our journey by many hours and complications. We don't understand Ryanair's decision as the flights to Vigo were always full. On the plane we ran into ICC members Peter and his wife from Zig-Zag who we may see out on the water in the next couple of weeks.

Galician Celtic musicians Over the past month, we sailed down from Ireland along the wild west coast, then crossed to Spain via the Bay of Biscay to sail the Rias of Galicia with 60 boats from the Irish Cruising Club. To say that it has been an absolute delight would be an understatement. I will tell each of the stories individually, but this is the introductory opening.
