We arrived at 0900 after three nights at sea and 303 nm . We checked into the poshest marina in town, the Monte Real club de lates de Baiona for some well deserved R&R.

Baiona is the playground of the NW Spanish city of Vigo and is beautiful with islands and sandy beaches. And, of course, Spanish food.

On the way, we saw our first dolphins. At first, all you see is the lead dolphin a mile away and then the whole group races towards the boat to play in the bow wave.

The sailing was not too demanding. We even managed to get the dinghy out to take some shots of Saffron Star.

We have 157 nm to go to La Coruna. But first, we need some rioja………
