| Boarded by Spanish Customs |
SATURDAY 15 SEPTEMBER 2007
We left Ribadesella about 8.30 a.m. and motored the whole way to Gijon in a flat sea, with a slight swell. Just outside Gijon, we were boarded by some very charming Spanish Customs men.

We arrived about 2 p.m, took on diesel and went in search of a Vodafone shop. We found two which were both closed, so we went and had a drink until the shops opened at 5.30 p.m. All the other shops seemed to open except the Vodafone shops because it was Saturday afternoon! We decided not to wait in Gijon until Monday to sort out our internet access, as there was a 2.5 meter swell expected by Tuesday and there are no safe harbours for the next 90 miles or so. In southern Biscay there is often a savage swell which makes sailing uncomfortable or downright dangerous even when only light winds are forecast.
