Weather: Light winds progressing to heavy squalls in Bay of Biscay
See that teeny tiny cabin at the front (yes where the boat goes up and down the most), that was our cabin. In truth it was OK once we had located David's bunk bed in the roof. The only problem was the smell of wee in the little en-suite. But we got round that by going to duty free and drenching loads of those perfume tester sticks and leaving them in the en-suite. None of your air-wick air freshners for us, we only use Mademiselle Coco by Chanel.
St Vicente de la Barquera
Weather: Rain with occasional dry periods requiring Swedish fortitude rewarded by slabs of Christmas cake.
Need to come back to this area (Cantabria) later on it's very pretty. Our campsite is near the sea with clear views to the snow topped Picos de Europa mountains. We'll come back to walk in them in the summer when we hope that the snow will have disappeared!
There's a festival on at the weekend involving girls singing on the beach as a statute of Virgin Mary is brought in from the sea but the wet weather is too much even for David to hang around waiting for singing girls!
He says his hair is standing on end because of the cold.
