The next longer stop shall be Lisboa and I am planning to berth in the Marina Parque das Nações first two weeks of September. On the way South, I will do some more 🚴♂️ Biking and even plan a three days Bikepacking Tour on the way along the spanish and portuguese coastline. Stay tuned….
DHL delivered a 26kg parcel in 4 days with continuous tracking from Germany to Spain, very reliable and fast even though it was standard shipment and not express. Spare parts and Rösti were the main items I was waiting for. Great support from Edith & Horst to get this on its way…thank you, more to come! 😉
A Coruña is becoming a very good and long stay and with Susan flying back home on Saturday, I am now looking for a weather window from next Sunday onwards to pass the historical Cape Finisterre in fair winds. Waves before wind I was taught by Inge from SY malwieder and looking at the waves only, the period of the wave is decisive. 2m waves with 8s period is not an issue – Atlantic breathing. Both, SY malwieder and SY Colette, have moved on yesterday and are already close to the Cape.
Leave a reply, if I have missed anything. 🤔
🙋♂️ Yesterday I have picked-up my new diving equipment from a local diving school/shop here in the Marina Coruña. It is a 10l bottle with regulators and a pressure manometer. The rest needed I already got onboard. My main purpose is to be able to check the propeller and perhaps replace some zink anodes and remove some fishing lines accidentally caught. The second reason is to be able to dive down to the anchor, if and when needed. Shall be fun and I am looking forward to use it. Fair winds…🤿
