The weather is improving so all being well we will move on to Laxe tomorrow.
More sorting and re-stowing on the boat followed by a session sorting out the website. It has been proving problematic since I changed to a third party page design. Too many crashes and a lot of problems uploading modifications. I revert to one of the standard page templates and things seem to be running very smoothly even if one or two of the colours are not to my liking.
Later I went for a walk into town for shopping and to post the website changes. It turned into a lovely sunny afternoon with a brisk northerly breeze. Looks good for tomorrow.

Newly restored library in Ares. Nice building and the internet is free.

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.
