Otro día, otra ría

I spent almost a week in La Coruña. Such a beautiful, and above all, clean and relaxed city! In addition, it is a place where many long distance cruisers flock and I made the acquaintance of a dutch couple Ingrid and Ben. With their yacht, a Contest 38 named Blabber, they are also heading to the Caribbean.

Since my departure from La Coruña on 1 September I have been cruising around in the rías of Galicia. This area is full of beautiful little towns with quiet beaches and good places to anchor. Below you'll find a few images of the past week.

As the Marine Traffic website does not always work very well, I have added a link to Google Maps with my (approximate) tracks and anchorages (see under 'Current Position') .

 It seems the endless summer has begun, so no longer this:





But this:
