Ria de Coruña ⚓

We are anchored in the Ria de Coruña. We thought we would arrive here around the 26th of July. With our detour along the French and Spanish Biscay coast it took us a good month longer to get to A Coruña. Oh well, it has been quite the journey. We'd almost forget that we have already been cruising for 3 months now!

The first two days in this well protected bay are wonderful. The sun's out, the wind is off and we are trying our sup surf board for the first time and pull out our dinghy since we don't even really remember how long.

We walked up to the light house to look at our Nimrod anchored below in the bay from up high. And treated ourselves to some delicious Magnums 😋🍦

On our last evening in the bay we met the Simon Hendrick (Mirjam, Edwin and Philou (5)). They welcomed us onaboard for a borrel. Some face paint had just transformed Philou into a unicorn and we promised that the next day I would try to turn her into a unicorn once more.

Our last night at anchor was very rolly and we didn't sleep too well because of the large swell that was still found its way to us into the bay. We left our rolly spot quite early to dock in the marina to get the boat guest ready since Tim would arrive later in the evening! After a big clean up we went into town and did a bunch of groceries. Afterwards a face painting session was long overdue. Even though Bart and I had secretly discovered a very rare treasure, a unicorn horn!!, Philou requested to turn into a mermaid princess. Of course, I obliged. In the end we revealed our treasure to Philou and the horn made the outfit. After the face paint session the ice was broken. While asking if we would stay want to do the face paint was very scary. After the princess mermaid unicorn transformation, Philou was climbing all over us and would have "played" all night with us if she could. Very cute.

We also enjoyed our adult time with Edwin and Mirjam as they again welcomed us on aboard for a borrel and dinner this time.Read more
