I've translated that, via babelfish.
Brian, don't read it, especially don't read the bit about the coast of death!
The Cabo Villain (in Gallego: Vilán end) is an end located in the Coast of the Death. It is placed in the municipality of Camariñas, in the province of Corunna, Spain. The light of Cabo Vilán indicates one of the most dangerous sections of the Coast gives Morte, but also of most beautiful. Raised to 125 meters of altitude and together with the old building of the fareros, it owns a powerful tube of light able to reach 55 km Is the older electric beacon of Spain. The enclave was declared of National Interest in 1933 for being a rocky and escarped place and nowadays is Natural Monument. In 1890, the English ship Serpent, that sailed towards Sierra Leone, sank here near because of a weather perishing 173 men which they are buried in the Cemetery of the English, to little distance of the Vilán light. In this end they inhabit great amount of cormorants, araos, pardelas, gannets, alcas… Many of them live out to sea in the small barren island known like Vilán de Fóra, located to little meters with almost 100 meters of height. In days of strong weather, the sea jumps envelope he. In order to accede to the end it is necessary to go from Corunna to Vimianzo by the C-552 and to turn aside themselves by the AC-432 to Camariñas. There is a highway from the port of Camariñas to the light. Another coastal route, from Arou and Camelle, reasons by earth track by one of the most rustic and beautiful places of the Galician coast.

The Bad weather has finally Passed, although the temperature has remained in Double figures,we Experienced a few Horizontal flying Hail Stones while taking a Stroll to Cabo Vilan. the Quality of the Photos was hampered by the almost constant sea spray which filled the air and gave the lovely smell of sea.. At times the wind was so Strong holding the Camera steady was Impossible, Indeed, It was Difficult to Stand [a href="  "] [/a] It was easy to see why the Fishing fleet has remained home the Estuary is Pretty much impassable with waves bigger than any of the Trawlers here. the Church Visited earlier this week on the hill to the Left. [a href="  "] [/a] The White Sandy Coves were no longer white with sand but Milky white with Foam [a href="  "] [/a]. Thankfully the Final Part of the walk to the Light house was mostly sheltered from the wind [a href="  "] [/a]. I was unable to Gain access to the Light house itself but there is a large Courtyard behind it with shear drops of 100metres to the water which was so white it made milk look yellow [a href="  "] [/a] The light house itself standing 125 metres high is Impressive [ /url]
[a href=" "][/a] It is the Oldest Electric Powered Light House in Spain and Its Powerful Beam can be seen up to 55 Kms away. While overlooking the foam filled waters it is easy to see why so many ships came to grief here the Serpent having the highest Death toll in a single incident. the men are Buried at the end of the Point in the pictures below [a href="  "] [/a] [a href="  "] [/a] The Rock offshore is Reportedly around 100 Metres high and Can be overwhelmed by waves in severe Storms, this wasn't happening but the waves could certainly at times reach the top, and realistically most of the waves reached halfway. [a href="  "] [/a] Could not decide which Image was the best,Clearest so I've added a few so you may decide. [a href="  "] [/a] [a href="  "] [/a] [a href="  "] [/a] [a href="  "] [/a] I'm Getting a little Stir Crazy now  so It will be soon time to move on, but after having seen the Sea in all it's splendour Sue is a little reluctant until it's flat Calm, I,ve tried explaining it's much better further out, and we've been in worse off St David's head ;D ;Dbut She's Having none of it!!!!!! |

Brilliant pictures. I love looking at storms at sea.
I wouldn't worry too much about the wind, Bri, I don't reckon you'll blow away. Tell Sue to be careful, though.

What are the white sandy beaches looking like now Brian after the storm has passed? When we were in Portugal, some of the little beaches in the little coves were totally washed away by a short bout of severe weather.

We haven't walked around to the point again, But the weather has again turned Foul, Many Fishing boats braved the waves a few days ago expecting an Improvement all but the Biggest (ships) have returned, and again, Left Moored up It has become Newsworthy with a Local news Crew Van Satellite dish etc. visiting the Harbour, it seems the weather, has never before stopped the Fishing boats here for so long. To top it all off the South westerlies are forecast which make this Marina Uncomfortable, If it becomes too uncomfortable It is possible to move on to a Safe haven around 26 miles south of us.the wind blows f5/6 with gusts of 28kns not usually a big deal.

Time to move on been battered by some awesome winds, from all four Quarters, Seems the other Boats are also leaving, Look out in Cardiff for the New Zealand Crew Man and Wife they have assured me they will make for Cardiff Yacht Club for the Wales New Zealand Game, their log for this year exceeds 20,000! few stories there for you..... the other a London based Ketch, is making it's way to The Canary Islands but has a Mechanical Problem. No more Clear Pictures Camera went overboard last Night in a drunken moment while taking pictures of overly intoxicated Guests Leaving our boat.

I Quite like Allans Accounts where Many of the Sails he had were his best sail, I on the other hand I seem to have worse..
I had Seriously Misjudged the weather leaving Camamarinas Monday 15th. the Mouth of the Estuary was a wall of waves with a clear gap of about 100 metres where the waves were not Breaking, this was our exit, 50 Metres either side of us 5 Plus metre waves turning into white mountains of water that I think a Surfer would avoid... then the Shear wall of water almost as high as the Boat is Long, face us ...Motor and Sail we passed through these a Steady rise up over Then a Huge Crash landing on the other side.....
I took the decision to leave at that time since there was a Small weather window which meant we could get quite a way down the Portuguese coast before the next wave of bad weather Arrived. I had Planned a 'Bolt Hole' at Cee some 25 Miles South of us. We Sailed Quite well Passed Cee in good time over heavy Swell, But Comfortable,, indeed in the Cabin it was like a day in Cardiff Bay with little movement except for the odd swell from the fast boats Spoiling the Calm....As day turned to night the weather Did indeed Calm and winds turned Southerly first of my mistake on reading the weather, The Direction, But Ignoring this and with no Time Pressures we Decided to Tack, not a Problem when Cruising Distances since each tack was around 10 miles long, the only Concern we had to consider was Fishing Boats Huge lumps of Steel Covered in Halogen Lights obscuring any view of Navigation Lights... these lights are Important to Decide what if any action you take, Since the action will have to be mine, Progress became Slower and Slower, sails began Flapping as we rode over Swell which was becoming Steeper and shorter, the planned arrival at Leixoesi was getting further away indeed running into the Evening instead of early afternoon, the wind by 3pm 16th had risen against us and swell has Given way to short Choppy waves which continually Broke over the front of Blue Bear, things started Crashing to the Floor below, we started the Engine and Locked the washboards into Place this was going to be a night to remember.
Visibility was good with the Engine running at a Cruising 2000rpm and fully reefed sail we were now making 1.8 knots through the water over ground between 5 and 0.8 Knots! an average of about the same as speed through the water. wind started whipping the Few inches of water from the top of waves and turning it into a fine white Spray which was Impossible to look at, my Eyes were Burning with salt now wherever I Looked..Leixoesi was now only 10 Miles away... Was the Sail Slowing the Speed? I took in the sail which stabilises the boat as wind further increased, no swell now just tumbling white water. we hung on while the boat tossed and turned it's way to the Harbour at still the same rate of Knots as with the sail, the Harbour is Shown by two red lights from the north, progress was so Slow we has plenty of time to decide the Correct ones in a background of millions of City lights...
With the amount of light Pollution the Sea, Harbour wall and the red Light were easily Viewable, The Harbour Entrance faces South, And the heavy Sea is also coming from the South Crashing into the starboard and Port walls to the height of the Light house, very Concerned, I went well south of the Entrance so I could line up and ride the waves into the Entrance, which is wide enough to allow two Large Ships to Pass but It looked incredibly small now, Concentrating on the huge Walls either side of me I made my entrance Correcting the surfing movement of the Boat, Pleased I had passed the Danger Point I Concentrated on inside the harbour, I was close to the Port side of the entrance and in front of me as a Container Ship leaving,Should I keep to port give him loads of room or Correct method pass him Port to port, I hesitated a few moments then realised from the lack of wake in the front of the Ship they were waiting for my entry held by tugs so now without Panic I was able to Cross in front of a Cargo ship to go port to port...Inside the Harbour, we found the marina, But there was no Access too rough in the Harbour so we decided to drop anchor outside the Marina with about 40 metres of Chain in 5.5 Metres of water below the Keel, It was high water, 1.5 tidal range leaving 4 metre margin But Swell and choppy water was not far short of that but what choice did we have.
Dropping the Anchor,,, The Gale was now force 9 behind the walls, The Entrance was Due South of my Position hence the huge swells, we would Anchor and allow the boat to move southerly by feeding out Chain into an area too small for Ships. The Anchor chain Had again Capsized, Sue could not release the Anchor, It needed two of us to drop the anchor and one to hold the boat into the wind, We had to rely on the Auto helm to keep us windward Crazy! but thankfully it worked. there was another Boat which had Picked up a Mooring Buoy, It was tossing about which signalled to us we May be reasonably safe, but there would be no sleep, But after observing the boats movements at anchor for a long while then setting the Anchor alarm at its smallest setting If this boat moved I wanted to know Quickly we fell asleep still fully Clothed and Damp We were Woken up By the Alarm, But this signalled the end of the Storm the Boat had relaxed its pull on the anchor chain and moved towards the Anchor enough to set off the Alarm.. The boat Secured to the mooring Buoy had Gone?!!! where? It had eased but not that Much.... Back to sleep we went now Dressed Comfortably, and after having a little food... 10am Morning Sun shining through the window wind now veering West things Improving vastly.... the Boat had returned and Dropped his Anchor, It became clear why he had moved he had dragged the Buoy and collided with the wall damaging his wind vane steering and starboard side hull.. sorry no Photos yet Camera went for a drink!! have a waterproof one hopefully I'll get a Memory Card soon. Shame really I've a feeling It's not over yet in this Place,

Still at Anchor, I find my Waterproof Camera will hold 5 Images on it's internal Memory. So for some it may be a bit Uninteresting but the first Picture is the waves breaking higher than the Gas tanks in the fore ground [a href="  "] [/a] Then the Entrance [a href="  "] [/a] The Container Ships arrive quite regular the Quay behind me Has had three seperate ships dock and be unloaded then loaded and gone.

Be safe,

That's a difficult Question Allan...... We're being tossed around like a Cork in a washing Machine as I write this,, It was our intention to move into the Marina today for a better WIFI signal for the Match tomorrow but that will not happen now, I have a reasonable one here for simple type internet but video streaming not good.... plus side wind generator is Giving out enough Power to light Blackpool!!
Sea state here Can Change very rapid the North Atlantic Is pretty notorious for this, and because of Swell Ports Close making Places of refuge Quickly Disappear when most needed, but I will be travelling South when the weather allows, 'Hopefully Sunday or Monday'. South westerlies at the moment, But it will veer the Sea state locally is high, and remains Very Rough or High even when the wind drops for longish periods, the other Boat in our Company Left for North yesterday to avoid Southerlies entering the Port entrance and of Course the Direction is in his favour, but the winds were very light Yesterday.

Moved Into the Marina, another Gale Forecast, needed gas, 12 Euro s, need Diesel, used a Months supply getting here. Marina fees Cheap 11 Euros P/n much cheaper long term I believe 153 Euros P/m. WIFI Electricity and water free Easy Jet fly here from Gatwick for around £30. not tried local produce yet but the Area just outside the Marina is old Style and there are many Bars and Restaurants.... Lovely...Sue has injured Her ankle so She may need Hospital treatment, if It is no better tomorrow, but in any Circumstance we are going to be here for at least a week.

Sue's foot still has us restricted, we have wandered around a little and It's a Great little Place, two More Boats arrived this evening, those of you who Sailed the Milford Haven Area may recognize a red Mizzen on a Ketch Voyer, apparently it also spent some time in Cardiff..... He is traveling in Company and has been held up because of the Bad weather that made it difficult for us to get here.... He was trapped in Port I had Contemplated turning to as a refuge. It was luck I didn't because it has been Closed for several weeks, only opening today.....

The two British Boats that Joined me Previously have moved south along with a third who only stayed a few hours, one is off to the canaries one to Canada using trade winds for which he has set his boat up with a Square rig, along with Conventional Sails, brought a lot of glances of Puzzled expressions, he insists since almost all of his Sailing is down wind it's the best option hope yachting Monthly Publish his account of his Design.... [a href="  "] [/a] I will be looking on the horizon from now on for this rig, he has or will have several days head start but he is in no real rush indeed he left Milford Haven about a Month ahead of me, |

It Did a few days ago, look rather Nasty it has Improved, but I will not be moving from here for a few days yet.. the weather has on several occasions proved Problematic the forecast giving winds in excess of F5, at Sea level though Smooth calm with no wind... last week there were times that the wind should have been at least Noticeable but the Marina water has a glassy appearance. [a href="  "] [/a] The Marina Is now is almost Full because of adverse weather Forecasts, A few larger Boats have been turned away, I am surrounded by French Boats all heading to the Mediterranean side of France, there are no longer any British boats here apart from mine of Course... We have been taking advantage of the Settled weather to get to Know the Place. The centre of Porto is up River around 7 miles the Bus Fare is 1.50 Euros each, the town is excellent we went last Wednesday and found you could spend a week Sightseeing and still want more time, Wine very very Cheap, beer cheap, meat is also Cheap. eating out is around 15+ euros each, Exchanging Money Is almost Impossible the airport being the only ligitamate place a local hotel would exchange at a rate of 1 euro to 1 Pound. Leixous is a lovely sea side town as well as being a huge Commercial Port and Gas terminal... we have been taking things easy while we decide our next action a few Photos of the leisure side of Leixous.

Yes, that really is tragic. I expect you are both quite upset and shaken about such an incident. However, we are very envious of you both and your journey. Especially now that you are in Portugal. As you know we have spent a lot of time in Portugal and just love the country, but have never yet made it to Oporto and we would so love to go. A bit of trivia - did you know that the name for a person who loves Portugal is Lusophile?
Keep you fab accounts coming both. Will you be staying away for Christmas?

Again we have Severe Gale Force 9, the wind is whipping through the Marina, the direction is south westerly which usually affects this marina Quite Badly, but I've experienced worse here, and I am expecting worse....... A few Boat owners/skippers as we Speak are checking warps and Fenders the rain is hitting the Boat with the Pressure of a Jet Wash.......
Since my Last account Some Boats have Left and Some have Arrived there Is a Steady turnover of Cruisers, but it seems when bad weather is Forecast the Marina Fills, when it Improves all but one will leave so the marina is steadily filling with more 'long' term sailors....We have noticed a Few yachts arrive with the Sails 'in a mess' left unstowed and tangled, especially the ones with Lazy Jacks, the British Boat a little down the Pontoon from Myself arrived in such a State, there was a Crew of three which Immediately seems to have been reduced to two, a flag it was flying has indicated they are Scottish, and I had time while passing Had chance to Speak to one who indicated he had a Scottish Father but the Skipper is Scottish, he also told me that the lazy Jacks failed and the Cars were damaged in strong winds.. and the Sail would not stow... A frightening thought you cannot reduce sail in an increasing wind....They have invited me Aboard for a Drink but as yet I have declined...
We now Have long term (more than a Week) a Dutch 'Very Chatty' Broken English, and two French boats one of which has his son with him who is now reluctant to Leave due to weather Conditions, along with Myself, there is a Netherlands Couple and a few others who have been here longer than Myself which I still haven't spoken to.....
Myself I have been hard hit by the news of Snooker, the News being somewhat different to what I knew of them but after some thought It became Clear, they were a Crew of three, Fred, Tim and John, the Skipper Fred universety graduated by the skin of his teeth but Did ok now retired going to Lanzarote with the hope of Purchasing a mooring, Tim the Son of Freds Sister a lively lad who was one that broke the mould, there can only be one Tim, and of Course John he was out of Place he was not a sailor, he was suffering from sea sickness in the Marina......Why Was the news Different from what I knew of them, Two Crew members were recovered from Snooker John and Tim, Where was Fred the Skipper there is no way Fred Could not have been there, I could not get it out of my Mind.....why hadn't Tim told them about His Uncle..... then I remembered Fred's real name was Jon but had changed it because of a comical conflict when his and his wife's name were Mentioned and the name stuck. It was amusing when we Introduced Ourselves for this reason.....
I am paid up with this Marina until the 20th December, courtesy of the Marina, I paid for nine days 120 euros they said Pay 153 you can stay for the month, It has and is my intention to move south to at least Faro or troia as soon as Possible, but the weather windows are too small to be very low risk, I need two days to reach a suitable destination (half a day leeway) but weather only abates for Two days, so It can be Done... but the risk can become Great if the weather forecast is a little out or making way is a little slower than Planned..... Thank you to the People who are Concerned about us, we will do our best to remain safe and If we have to sit here all winter we will, we are warm dry and we have Company of some friendly sailors and the Marina Staff who are Excellent....

We Had our Storm from the south west Through Sunday Night Thunder Lightening the works! The Marina Suffered Badly, the water has taken on the look of Mud,,, filled with Debris of all Kinds, Huge Logs washed down from the upper reaches of the Harbour that will need a Crane (Boat hoist to lift), Barrels, a Surprising number of Dead Sea Birds and litter, the Pontoons took a Battering Snapping the fingers off the main Pontoon In some Places. One Example. [a href="  "] [/a] and the main Pontoon breaking in the last section before the Ramp to Shore.[a href="  "] [/a] I am really in a Lucky Spot I am further up the Pontoon Closer to the Entrance But I am Sheltered Behind a 50 foot Motor Cruiser and a 55 foot Cat which have Secured themselves to the wall as well as the pontoon Cleats. It is hard to Believe when I arrived and decided not to enter the Marina because it looked too rough so anchored Outside in the outer Harbour It was rougher than Sunday Night........Poor Pictures I know but inside the Harbour the Porto Yacht Club's wall which we were Anchored off [url  ][/url]. We enjoy the Excitement of it all though! You don't do a trip like this without some drama. We've Mastered the Public transport Network which is easy to use Cheap Clean and Safe, Yesterday we Visited the Main Centre of Porto,'Trindade' Had Buffet Meals which would Beat a Five Star Hotel, Several Wines and finished with two Coffees all for 16 Euros the Temprature was around 17 degrees, It was Bustling with Christmas Shoppers, The Smell of Roast Chestnuts, [a href="  "] [/a] It was Mostly Plesent Enough to Sit outside Cafes watching the World Go By [a href="  "] [/a] A little Sight seeing.
