Voyage Day 7 - Tuesday 25 November 2025 
🌤️ clear cold start, 🌬️cool breeze. 
An odd sort of day as those due to leave tomorrow  reviewed and sorted out their travel arrangements, visited the port police station to get entrance stamps for Spain (no facilities existed in Muros) and discussed various options and timings for their onward journeys. As long as we get a stamp on our passport when we reach Santa Cruz de Tenerife so we can exit Spain again from the airport, we should be OK. Late in the morning we motored up the Vigo River to the Ponte de Rande suspension bridge in the sunshine. At the bridge we turned and put up the topsail and the forestaysail, the enthusiastic amongst us unfurled and put up the Course but to no avail. The wind dropped and we started drifting backwards (almost). The wind direction changed and we had to bring down the Course before the head wind hit us on the bow. Then there was the fun of folding and stowing the biggest sail on the ship. We continued on the motor back to our berth at the Marina Davila Sport. Tonight was a special final supper prepared by Fernadi and Anya, Carrot and Orange Soup, Lamb fillet, and lots of veggies followed by Tarte á Tatan. Nice speech from the Captain about making and sharing memories. Memories were made, emails exchanged, nice sentiments spoken and shared.
Today’s images are mostly of the voyage crew. If you are not happy having your image here, please email me and I will remove it.
I’m afraid the lack of affordable WiFi and no mobile phone signal once we get 3 or 4 miles from shore, has meant that I am a long way behind in my posts as I can only add and edit my blog when I have a data connection. It is now 4 December and we leave Madeira for Tenerife this evening. Unless we arrive there at least a day early, I wont be able to finish this particular tale until I get home. Bear with me!
