Ayamonte, Portugal to Chipiona, Spain - 57 Miles

MONDAY   19   NOVEMBER   2007

Chipiona



We had another dawn start but because Spain is an hour in front of Portugal, we were able to leave at 7.30 a.m. Spanish time. We were worried about the weather as Navtex was giving a heavy wave warning! The sea state was going to increase from smooth to slight, to moderate and rough. Luckily the wind was in our favour and we managed to sail nearly all the way at about 6.5 knots. We made very good time and arrived in Chipiona about 5 p.m.

Marina: 12.45 euros

Nice to find your site Roger hope you are both enjoying the experience,although I have no doubt you will have a great time.

Having enjoyed my first sailing trip with yourself and Tony from Sarda to Milford I have no doubt with your vast experience it will be like a walk in the park.Good luck and hope all goes well.
