BOAT LIFE: are we IN DANGER? SAILING the Galician Coast I Ep. 83

“WAY TOO SHALLOW!” Would you anchor overnight near rocks, in a shallow spot? WE DID…
This part of the GALICIAN COAST is called “Costa da Morte”… Translated, that means “COAST OF DEATH”!!
So, here we are, sailing the COAST OF DEATH… Are we in DANGER? You decide!
In this episode, we sail from MUROS to a small island in the RIA DE AREOSO, along the North West Spanish Galician Coast. We FINALLY get some decent wind and have a really lovely sail. That’s what sailing in Spain should all be about!
We are reminded of fellow RUclipsrs, Sailing Nendez, who unwittingly ran aground when they hit some rocks, JUST where we were going to pass! So, this put us on high alert from the get-go.
Sailing puts you in DANGER no matter how skilled you are or prepared your craft. You have to be prepared for anything.
So, when our anchorage turned out to be a lot shallower than we’d hoped, we found ourselves in a situation… With a sandbank on one side and rocks on the other… Were we going to be ok?
Thanks very much for watching!

What a great video! Your b-roll is always so top notch! I will say that Anchor Alarm noise triggered me to immediately check my phone 😂 Looking forward to the next one :)

A very beautiful anchorage and beach walk. Appreciate those anchoring skills, we have no windless on our IP35 so also like to get it right first try. The Orcas make news again near you. Fair seas mariners.
