Day 11

Today is a recuperation day, out for an exploration of A Coruna town.  We had a great dinner last night in the old town, which is full of Spanish character.  

We visited the Tower of Hercules possibly the site of the oldest lighthouse in the world.  Still in use, we used it to safely navigate in, in the dark.  It is also a heritage site and museum.

We have a bit of a dilemma on weather as the conditions are foul around Finisterre for the foreseeable future so we are replanning our next few days with local hops in the mornings before the wind comes up and hoping for a change in the weather to allow us to go further South.

Our 4th crew member, Paul Drew, has left us today (as planned) to travel Spain by car, so we are more limited in the distances we can travel in one hop.
