Beware Pirates


With an early evening departure from Santander to the next planned port of La Coruna we were off for the 220nm leg, wind was a breeze from the NW and all was set for a gentle star lit night with 6kts headway being made, We rested safe in the knowledge that any pirate attack from the Basque country would be met by our residend NINJA, (Malcolm sitting up asleep with his hat on).

Sun up and wind was now behind us and and increasing, by evening it was up to 38kts and so Ria De Ribadeo was sorted out as our place refuge.
All moored up by 10pm in the tranquil
waters of the first Ria,
The Rias are fjord like inlets along the coast and
with their backdrop of tree covered hills
are beautiful.
Punctuated by little fishing villages,
small resorts and fantastic sunsets,,

with a fine roast in us it was off to find some suitable watering holes, of which there seems plenty,, great,,
