What about a two handed race from Vigo round the Azores and back ?

Avoids all that beastly bay of Biscay ……and the food is good and the vino

Or lunch in Vigo, followed by a cruise to a Ria anchorage where one has a peaceful night reading about someone else's derring do and fearful storms in the Atlantic. A cruise back to Vigo in a day or so, possibly stopping in town for another lunch.

Or some such kerfuffle…..but Vig to the azoes whole give great reaching winds…….I would obviously be on the start line in mt Dufour 24

That post about lunch stops and peaceful nights at anchor sounds a wonderful way to enjoy a small but perfectly formed sailboat. With a few hours sailing in between of course

Years ago now must be the 1990s somebody organized a sail in company around the Ria de Vigo and up north maybe as far as Finisterre.The idea was to encourage new people to yachting to get off their marinaberths and explore the rias under guidance from other more experienced sailers,itseemed to be very popular inthe harbours visited and amongst the newly qualified Galician sailors.

After all the trials of buying a boat, there seems to be little sailing going on. I thought you were just going to air your sails by going to the Azores, with more distant shores then in your sights.

All in good time!

Will that time come before the heat death of the universe?
Some of us are getting on a bit and may not be around for the eventual sailing part of this story.
