We waited until about 8.45 a.m. to leave when it got light and because the forecast was not good for the next couple of days we decided to go straight to the Marina in Vivero. We had more fog, thunder and lightening. The storm was so close that we were worried about our electrical equipment, so we put the chart plotter in the oven to protect it (the idea is that the oven functions as a Faraday cage). 

The visibility improved but there was a strong Force 5 about two hours before we arrived in Vivero, when it began to rain steadily and we got soaked mooring the boat, helped by two friendly Germans.
