2 minutes readWe sailed along the West Portugal and around Galicia coast. There was a mix of offshore and coastal sailing, as well as challanging but rewarding night navigation. We visited charming Portugal towns and Galicia’s magical fjords (Rias). We visited several notorious locations renowned for their challenging weather, such as Finisterre and Muxia.
Thanks to the entire crew! You've navigated through diverse and challenging conditions with skill and resilience. Here's to many more successful journeys!
