| Crowling down the Iberian coast |
Philipp and Chrissie managed to bring Kiwi around Cabo Finisterre and picked Sanja up on a beach in Corrubedo. They could report some great sailing, but also experiences including womittings. Just when we had mastered the skill of somehow ordering food and beverages in Spanish, it's time to change country. Two days ago Kiwi crossed the border to Portugal, where Viana Castello is our first port of call.
Viana Castello happens to have the third most beautiful scenery in the world (according to National Geographic from 1926), which combined with thick fog and lazynes brought us to stay in the town for a day and spend some time with one of our new hobbies: tourism.
The coastline has changed from Galician rocky Rias (fjords) to endless beach, with little shelter. The next weeks we'll have to bring Kiwi in to build marinas in river deltas in stead of natural anchorages. Next destination is famous Porto, where Kiwi will get well deserved attention: new antifouling and treatment for her rust spots. Chrissie strategically abandoned the ship just before we brought out the angle grinder and returned to stable ground in Vienna. We'll definitely miss his endless Spanish omelets and otherwise great help onbord

| Also sandy beaches can be interesting: new discovery of wave surfing has made us more liberal towards these geological features |
