Finistere

We left La Coruna at 8.30am, into a misty morning which persisted for the
rest of the day. We opted to head along the coast instead of trying to cross
the busy shipping lanes of Cape Finistere in only one mile of visibility. We
were expecting a slight head wind coming round the Northern Spanish coast
which picked up as we rounded the corner to head more southerly out of the
lee of the land. We slowly tacked our way round Finistere until the wind
dropped overnight and we started motoring.
Forecast today is for the wind to veer behind us to a gentle wind pushing us
to the Canaries, which is now happening and we are now back under sail. The
inshore forecast has also improved so we now plan to stay along the coast
until after Gibraltar. We are just about to reach the Portuguese coast line
and are making good progress although the seas are a little unsettled due to
the wind shift.
