Monday 18th August

We set off early at 3.30am in the hope of rounding Finisterre. Unfortunately the rough head on seas meant we had to creep up the coast.

The forecast for Fitzroy was West force 8 in the north and 4 to 5 in the south. We were in a force 6 and we knew we could not round Finesterre so diverted to Viviero.

The marina was full and we anchored in the sheltered bay outside. This is where a water maker really comes into its own and we were very pleased to have it. We also were able to take on more food supplies with a very handy large supermarket at the port.
