* Today, we checked out of our summer location in Real Club Nautico Vigo and began our slow move south to Lagos, Portugal. It's been a fabulous summer! Pictured left, the 5K swim from Cangas to Vigo, with the winners pictured. It was a perfect day for the event, with no wind and sunny skied. The ocean temperature registers 15.6 degrees. * Friends Sue and Enrique who live in the area, and their two kids 7 and 9, spent the day with us at Cies Island. No wind for sailing, but lots of fog. At one point, an enormous fishing boat appeared on our bow and I shouted, "Con turn!" (I saw him approaching on the RADAR, but was surprised at his size!) * The disastrous collapse of the boardwalk last month sending 330+ people to hospital is still cordoned off. The two photos left leave lots to the imagination (a loan black boot, the red sweatshirt, and the crutch). * Click: Sailing 2018 for stories and photos.
