Playa de Estorde to Muros
07/May/2007 12:03 Filed in: Ria de Muros
I was woken at about 08:30 but the rattle of anchor chain as "Fruition" weighed anchor. She was returning north.
We got underway at 11:30 and proceed south, well off the coast to avoid numerous shoals and exposed rocks. At 14:00 we entered Ria Muros past a barren and rocky Monte Louro. The Ria is very deep and shelves rapidly very close to the shore. We anchored about 250 ft off Muros promenade at 15:00.
Kiriwini was deployed for a visit ashore. Muros is a lovely little fishing port but the promenade appears to be more tourist biased with many cafes and bars and some smart shops. The streets behind the promenade are a warren of stoned paved alleys with smallish houses many of which have been or are in the process of being restored.
Monte Louro on the northern shore at the entrance to Rio Muros with tiny lighthouse and off-lying rocks.
Approaching Muros with Punta Reconcido in the foreground.
