Salsus - Arrival at Bayona!



What a heartwarming reception! We were overwhelmed. After 5 days of frustration, and a very long day motoring (albeit, we do have to admit, in wonderful sunny weather), it was an amazing entrance and mooring at Bayona with so many fellow participants there to welcome us in. Even well after midnight! Sorry guys – we were so busy with the stern-to mooring (a first...) that we didn’t really get a chance to give you the reciprocal to your heartwarming hooting.

 

We had to forego today’s leg to Pavoa de Varzim as we were just so behind the times in all respects, but we’ve victualled today, prepped the boat and are ready for an early departure to Porto. Tomorrow evening we’ll have caught up with the rest, finally, and we can start – hopefully! – to relax.

 

It was a lovely sunset off Bayona yesterday; here’s a pic of Salsus carrying us through the Atlantic swell. It made all the previous days worthwhile. This is a great rally. Sometimes you just have to fight through the tough times to appreciate the good times even more. J
