When we left Cleo in Ribadeo we went to Viveiro, where friends on another boat told us we would be greeted by a dolphin. Much to our delight it duly appeared, just as we approached the marina. Like many we have visited, Viveiro is a very old town with some lovely narrow streets, but depressingly much of the old town seems to be in a sad state with many empty buildings and most of the population appear to live in the surrounding modern apartment blocks. A shame given the sheltered surroundings and good beaches nearby.

We knew that the weather forecast was rather depressing, 5 days of grey skies and rain. After one day of strong winds there appeared to be a window of 2 days to travel the 60 miles to A Coruna before the winds returned; with a fall back of Cedeira after 30 miles if conditions dictated. 30 miles of choppy seas was enough and we are at anchor in the lovely protected calm of Ria at Cedeira for a few days waiting for the bad weather to disappear, (Friday according to the forecast). So we are being very lazy, yesterdays walk on the beach and reading books in windy sunshine has been replaced by a very long lunch in todays rain.
