    A short sail today, about 20 nm to Camariñas. How will Tim fare today? We've found a replacement for our autopilot! Tim steered today. He kept us on track, manoeuvring around the 20m line to avoid orcas, and the steering kept the seasickness away💪🏼 We have a new score ladies and gentlemen: Sea 1 - 1 Tim!

    The sail, who we were kidding, motor tour and half hour of sailing, was another one along a gorgeous coast. Somewhere along the way we must have lost our fishing gear (paravane and most of the hooks) either due to a very big fish we didn't catch or possibly a rock. Very unfortunate, but I'm sure we can replace them somewhere.

    We anchored in the bay of Camariñas. I went on a little paddle board adventure and discovered a potential bonfire spot on a beach for later that day. First we went into the town of Camariñas, but we returned rather quickly since there wasn't a lot to see. After dinner we loaded the dinghy and went to the beach. Starting the fire with a magnesium stick, some vaseline and cotton pads didn't work so well for us yet, so we reached for some more extreme tools😅

    We had a lovely evening together, enjoying a triple beer we still had from France and roasted some, probably a bit too many, marshmallows.
