Wednesday 20th September. Arrive Gijon.
Had to motor nearly all the way, 30 hours. Passed by lots of beautiful coastline and some very impressive mountains. The marina have given me 50% off for my RYA membership, which I begrudged having to take out just because I needed a certificate of theirs. But it has just paid for itself! I'm having a lucky run, what could possibly go wrong?
This is Gijon on a calm day, sea spray everywhere, what's it like in a storm? They must have a terrible time with things going rusty
The mountains are staggeringly beautiful, the Picos de Europa. (Heather was supposed to hike here for a week in June, but her fall put paid to that plan.) Maggie and Pete, Pat and I camped in these mountains many years ago when they came out to visit. There are still bears and wolves there.
ReplyDeleteAny lighthouses around the place, Brendan? Take a few shots please.
