Firefly - Arrival in Spain



Firefly and crew now safely in Spain;Viveiro one of the Ria Altas just East of La Coruna. We arrived around 10.AM this morning. Last evening our long beat turned into a broad reach as the wind came round temporarily from the East giving us a pleasant broad reach along the coast. The wind has now come back to Southerly with a vengeance so we are glad we are now tucked up in shelter. We will wait until the Northerly's set in before rounding Finistere and continuing our journey South.

Strange but we picked up a bird yesterday;an exhausted Stonechat took a while to land on deck, sadly despite lots of TLC our first stowaway did not make it through the night.

We are anchored off a beach on the West side of the Ria to sort out our 'plumbing' problems, these are now resolved thanks to Paul's valiant efforts and we shall be heading into the marina shortly for a trip ashore and possibly the odd beer.

Many thanks to everyone for helping us get this far .From a tired and very pleased Paul, Murray and Peter.
