Midwatch 11-14-13

Anyone want a pair of "Boots of Spanish Leather"?  Yes...we are in Spain.

Current location:  Tied to a dock at the Club Nautico, Vigo Spain
42 D 14.544 N
8 D 43.39 W

Kim and I spent all night (no sleep) in very challenging conditions getting the boat safely  around Cape Finisterre.  The 30 kt winds on the south side that were originally forecast to  diminish did not.  We hove-to to download a new weather bulletin and decided it royally      sucked.  We looked up and saw we were 8 miles from the entrance to Vigo Harbor.  We beat our way there to get a night or two of rest before we continue.

Can't wait to tell the story of rounding Costa del Muerte but sleep must come 
first.

The best news of all  is that both Kim's and Anna's seasickness did indeed disappear after   the 3rd day and they were seriously tested!

Good night.

Bob, Kim, Anna and Finn
