La Coruna to Camarinas, Finnisterre & Muros

We left La Coruna to go south along the Atlantic coast on Wenesday morning.

Weather was fine but even if the wind was from the NE it was too light to be of any help.
Once again our green metal genoa had to be put to work.
As we motored on our way towards the anchorage for the night in the little town of Camarinas, we sailed into dense fog. We have a good radar and it was started. Most ships/boats today are equiped with an AIS (Automitic Identification System) which makes boat visible on chartplotters.
But there are exceptions and we met a few of them. One of them was this fisherman.
We saw him on the radar - but he wasn't paying attention to his radar and kept coming at us.
As you will see he spotted us just 5/10 seconds before we would have crashed.

We arrived Camarinas and anchored just before darknes.
There were a few other boats anchored there aswell. German, Dutch, Danish, French.

 When we woke up the next morning visibility was ZERO. We waited untill midday when the fog lifted slightly and we were on our way this time to sail past Cape Finnisterre and to Muros, our next anchorage. Also this time motoring as there was no wind. We passed Finnisterre and the sea was dead calm.

Cape Finnisterre capped by fog.

 We arrived Muros at sunset and anchored just outside the marina in 9m.

As the weatherforecast predicted strong wind and lots of rain, we decided to go into the marina the next day and wait it out.
Saturday morning the wind got up to 35-40 knots and the boats in the marina realy moved from the wind coming down the mountainside.
Muros is a small town, but nice and quiet. There are many yachts here, 3 of them Norwegian.

Looks like we will be stuck here untill Tuesday.
