As we headed up Ria de Arousa at over 5 kts we reminded ourselves of the last time we motored up this ria at 1.8kts (against 20 kts of wind but around slack tide) and what a good investment the new Featherstream propeller had been!
We tied up and turned the engine off 5.5 hours after turning it on – a very pleasant trip in spite of the constant drone of the engine!
For the sailors following behind us – we visited last year and you can find more detail about the marina from that visit HERE.
The marineros remembered us from last year; we were greeted like old friends and had a chat. Telling our friend that we were going to the Viking festival on Sunday (two days away) he told us that the Cambados Albarino festival was also held this weekend.
That was a festival that we had wanted to visit but lost track of the date.
