Our Wakes: 2015
La Corunya -Portosin (17 March - 2 April)
On the 17 of March, we left la Corunya as the weather was finally good for our next leg
towards Camarinas. Unfortunately, we could not stay there as the northern wind made
the mooring very uncomfortable. We moved on the 19 of March towards Muxia located
2 miles away. We were the only sail boat in Muxia but it offered us excellent protection
from the northerly winds which blew at up to 49 knots (90km/h) one night. After one
week, the low pressure area had moved away allowing us to sail towards Portosin were a
technician was going to finalize the connections of the newly purchased genset. We had no
sun for the leg towards Portosin just a lot of rain and fog. But the wind was very good and
allowed us to make good progress with the sails with speed recorded above 8 knots. We
also were greeted by a large group of about 50 dolphins as well as a replica of one of
Columbus boat the Niña without sails.
