• Corme-Porto ⚓

    Sep 4–5, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 19 °C

    With our additional crew member Tim we move on from A Coruña to Corme-Porto. It's another cloudy and gray morning and there is quite a lot of swell. Even though we prepared Tim with some seasickness medication, unfortunately the sea strikes a bit too strong for him. Tim's down... Sea 1 - 0 Tim.

    Unfortunately, for Tim the sail is a long one. We do have one potential plan B along the way, bird island Sisarga. However, once we get there we see that it's a very rolly anchorage. That won't be a great place for Tim to recover. So we continue the trip. Luckily, Tim is able to sleep a bit inside. For us, the sun starts to come out a bit, it's lovely. Somewhere along the coast Bart(holemeus) passes his "own" tiny little island Isla San Bartolome. At some point we're also surrounded by a lot of Portuguese war ships again.

    When we sail into the bay of Corme-Porto, the swell fades out. Tim dares to venture outside and is able to enjoy the gorgeous surroundings with us. Corme-Porto is a small fishing town, but we decide to stay on board for the evening.
