Camariñas to Playa de Estorde

I had planned a reasonably early departure but was delayed by a morning fog. We sailed at 11:15 and made rapid progress down the coast under motor and main, helped by over a knot of southerly current. As usual there was very little until wind until around 14:00.

It was a lovely sunny day with the sea a deep turqoise blue. This was the last stretch of the Costa del Muerte. By the time we rounded Cabo Finisterre we had a northerly F4 which was not a lot of help as once round the cape we sailed a northerly course.

At 16:30 we anchored off Playa de Estorde which I had visited in April. I was surprised to see another boat in the anchorage. It was Dutch but I was unsure of the type. It looked like a restored fishing ketch and was in beautiful condition.
