Heading West

Our plan is to sail about 30 miles west to a little anchorage called Laxe later today, after a dash round the local supermarket for provisions. We're trying to avoid the temptation of eating out as that's soon get pretty expensive but we're eating well on board - we even made our own bread yesterday (yes, we found space for the breadmaker!).

The wind is forecast to be from the south west today then goes round to the north east tomorrow which should be perfect for blowing us round Cape Finisterre and then south. Finisterre has a bit of a reputation for big waves and strong winds so we'll pick our moment with care.

We will update the blog with photos next time we get decent wifi connections; in the meantime it's been great to get emails and comments. A couple of people have said they've tried to add comments to the blog unsuccessfully; please let us know if you're having difficulties via email.
