Luckily Viveiro is pleasant, though quiet...

SW Beaufort wind force of 5 - 7 - average 25kts, gusting 35 with very rough 6 to 13 ft sea's. Head on is not pleasant, and not good for boat or crew. Wind is turning northerly giving very confused seas in Finisterre. The wind is calming down on Friday and the seas should settle by Saturday morning. This is a notorious area with little shelter, hence the caution. There may be some strong winds as we head south, but will be down wind and offshore, so the sea state will be better.
Luckily the town is pleasant though quiet.Though there are some pleasant resturants...We generally take it easy, look around as the time allow. Much depends on if I know we are definately stuck for a few days or not. Hoping to rent a bicycle and look around tomorrow. Generally though as weather is not good we sit tight and watch the weather.Carrying a small library is always useful. Regards, Damian
