Monday – 18 June 2018

I’m not really sure how you can catch a cold when in the middle of the sea, but obviously I have managed it.  As a result, we stayed put and had a quiet day. We walked into parts of La Coruna that we had not previously seen, finding our way through the narrow passageways.  There are so many cafes that I doubt anyone actually eats at home.

The weather seems to alternate between really hot and sunny one day and overcast the next. The wind kicks in during each afternoon and seems to whistle straight through the marina. Fortunately we are well protected in the midst of a string of other larger yachts.  We met a German couple who had been to the Caribbean and were on their way home, and another British couple heading for the start of the ARC (Atlantic Rally for Cruisers). I think they will join up with other boats in the Canarys and then go across the Atlantic together – another year perhaps?

The plan had been to find a bar to watch the England World Cup match, but in the end we stayed on board and watched it on the internet.
