So from Santander we had a gentle sail to S Vicente de la Barquera, a very pleasant seaside town and fishing port, with splendid views of the Picos de Europa. A gentle friendly place we thought, until we were woken in the early hours by a rescue helicopter searching for survivors from a boat apparently deliberately burned out. So maybe it's more a Midsummer Murders location?
Rivalries in the Rias, Val suggested.
And on today (Tues 11th) to Llanes, beating against the wind in the rain. Just as good as England. And the harbour is full of fishing boats, and the marina is being rebuilt, and we have to leave on the tide at 6.00 tomorrow morning, and I need a beer.
Enjoy your beer. You'll need another few when you return to England, which has changed completely in your absence. There was even a rainbow over Buckingham Palace as the revolution came to a climax yesterday afternoon.
