Baiona

Ahoy,

so the Ol' Girl and me are in Baiona, around fifteen nautical miles from the Portuguese border. As neither the Ol' Girl or myself wish to use the engine unless necessary or the diesel for that matter we are waiting for the wind to shift from the SW.
Miguel the manager here is being very sympathetic, I do not want to embarrass anyone by outstaying any welcome, maybe tomorrow conditions will be favourable to push off.
I like this Marina, alas the facilities in the town are quite a walk by my standards so I am a bit of a boat rat at the moment, thankfully there is no bar here at the Marina so I am not falling into cups.
This means I am feeling a little separated from the rest of the Town and my fellow boaties as there is a three day Fiesta going on in Town and many people are enjoying it, I however, am listening from a distance not only to the fireworks but the sound system too, I have some sailing to do and dare not stress my legs on anything else.
I am looking forward to raising the Portuguese flag and seeing there coast and some of the Ports, hopefully I will make good time and will be able to be in Southern Spain for the end of the first week of August, fingers crossed the wind will be favourable.
