I had hoped to be able to sail but there was absolutely no wind. So we motored and even when the wind picked up about one hour before arrival (against us) I didn’t set sail. The waves were very confused and and I just wanted to arrive and not tack into very uncomfortable wind and wave (it was now blowing F6). With this wind the last hour turned into two because our engine wasn’t strong enough but we finally made it into the Ría de Cedeira and all of a sudden all was calm.
The anchorage was very full which I had expected but one of the advantages of having a small boat with a shallow draught is that you can anchor where others can’t. So we found a good quiet place and I spent the rest of the day trying to cure my upset stomach. I still don’t know where that came from but ist had started the night before and I hadn’t been able to sleep.
The night at anchor was really quiet and I slept for 9 hours. My stomach still wasn’t completely back to normal. Made some black tea and inflated the dinghy to go into town.
