A prompt start today to sail from the Spanish Rias to our first port in Portugal. There was not a drop of wind in the marina but out at sea we had 15to 20 knots behind us. We chose to sail well offshore between the 50 and 100 metre contour lines to avoid the shortening swell further in any potential tunny nets from the shore. We had 20 plus dolphins all the way to the Spanish border and then a 10 minute gap before Portuguese dolphins took over.
Viana de Castelo is a lovely town up an estuary. We passed kite surfers and a Portugal Spain wind surfing completion on the way in. I decided I needed a hair cut which had worked out ok given the barber did not speak English and my Portuguese is from a phrase book. I am not sending the results. A 3 course dinner with wine and coffee was 33€ tonight, excellent value.
