Not a pleasant evening and at 10:45 this morning it did not seem to be getting any better. The wind is over 20kn (F5) from the southwest so I won't be going anywhere today.
It's a public holiday today in Spain so nobody will be answering the phones in marina offices. I decide to return to Ares marina as there are no shelterd anchorages in this Ria from these winds.
At 11:20 I weighed anchor. It came up with a load of very sticky shell encrusted mud and some very old rope and netting attached which I had to clear. No problems and by 12:30 we were back in Ares marina at berth 28a. Even though it was a holiday there was someone there to assist with mooring.
