III Cruzeiro International – Arcachon – Galiza -Ria de Aveiro
Posted in Regatta on July 12th, 2009First leg for us: La curuna – Baiona
In the morning we faced small winds that increased later on to over 25kn. Top speed with our First 40.7: 14.4kn
After this leg we stayed two days in Baiona and we used the time for shopping, repairs and of course: party!
Second leg: Baiona – Ria de Aveiro
Start was late in the afternoon with nearly no wind. It seems that far outside from the coast was more wind so we have been over 20 miles out from the coast to catch up to 20kn of wind during the night.
The last approach in the morning took quite long due to 3 till 4kn of wind. Luckily the waves pushed us a bit so we maintained a speed of 2 till 4kn. Mike Davis as usually (:-/) ahead of us:
