Our Journey: 2015
La Corunya - Portosin: (17 March - 2 April)
On the 17 of March, we left la Corunya as the weather was finally good for our next leg towards
Camarinas. Unfortunately, we could not stay there as the northern wind made the mooring very
uncomfortable. We moved on the 19 of March towards Muxia located 2 miles away. We were the
only sail boat in Muxia but it offered us excellent protection from the strong northerly winds
which blew at up to 49 knots (90km/h) one night. After one week, the low pressure area had
moved away allowing us to sail towards Portosin were a technician was going to finalize the
connections of the newly purchased genset. We had no sun for the leg towards Portosin just a lot
of rain and fog. But the wind was very good and allowed us to use the sails and make good progress
with speed up to 8 knots. On the way we were greeted by a large group of about 50 dolphins as
well as a replica of one of Columbus boat the Niña who moved without sails.
