Well it has been a month since we left Falmouth, UK and we have made it across the Bay of Biscay, around Cape Finisterre and after a week in the Ria Muros due to a very stubborn low that would not move, thus leaving us drenched for most of that week, we find ourselves in lovely Porto, Portugal.
There is lots to say about our voyages, many stories to tell and when I have had more sleep and I stop procrastinating about what to write or how to write it I will get them on the this blog. But for the mean time here are a few pictures taking us all from Falmouth to Ria Muros. We have yet to take any pictures of Porto, though we did go for a short bike ride into town with the girls and Adam this afternoon and had a lovely time. More later, so with out further ado here are the pictures with some captions.
Sorry this loaded from the most recent to the least recent.
Lounging in the grass up the Ria Tambre
All of the sudden we were no longer in the sea, we were surrounded by Eucalyptus trees and freshwater. Very strange, as we were in Spain...
Foraged mussels on the deck with Kivu family. Very lucky to have met another cruising family with two girls of similar age.
Swimming off the beach in Camaret, after our 16hour Channel Crossing
Dolphins abounded for our two day Biscay crossing. These three stayed with us for a good few hours. We were lucky the water was a flat calm so we could get some great underwater shots from our bow.
Braved the rain to go to town to get groceries and try to connect to the internet. Thankfully our way back there was no rain, that is until we got back on the boat. Can you spot Bucket Baby?
Obligatory picture of Adam eating sand in La Coruna.
Hercules Torres in La Coruna. A light house was first built in this spot by the Romans and there has been one on this hill ever since.
Adam and John cooking on the cob
