15 Sep 2011. Riding the islands and dolphins to Vigo

Overnight, after many headlands and dolphins, we finally made it motor-sailing to the River Vigo area in light winds. We decided to thread our way in pitch darkness between the headlands and islands so as to make a dawn anchorage off one of the islands at the entrance to the Ria. We crept close into a bay on the Islas de Norte, dropped the pick, sipped some whisky and crashed out. Early morning saw a clearing mist and then a beautiful panaorama of beaches and heavily forested islands. At last, were we out of the frozen north?....perhaps?
