Making 6.5-7 kts in 25. Two reefs here - just went to three.
We’re bound for the new new city - Spain’s Cartagena, named for the original, which itself is the “new city” (“qrt-ḥdšt“). (Suppose then that Colombia’s Cartagena de Indias is the New New New City of the Indies.) Let’s see Scipio’s prize!

We’re pressing on to the Pillars of Hercules today.

We’re pressing on to the Pillars of Hercules today.
We’re sailing out of the Ría de Vigo, making 4 knots in 9 off the port quarter (& the last of the ebb). Bound for Baiona.
Tomorrow the wind will run northerly for just long enough to make at least 140nm on an overnight/offshore passage south. I’m due at the Rock in a dozen days!

Tacking into a rare southerly wind off the coast of Galicia.
Presently rounding Isla Ons at the mouth of the Ría de Pontevedra, bound for Vigo (or Porto if the wind would kindly veer a few degrees).
Making 3-3.5 knots in 12-14, against the tidal current and moderate swell ⛵️ #sailing
