Something was different this morning than usual. The sun shone brighter somehow, the air was soft and the 24 ° C felt wonderfully hot. We are in Spain! The weather gave himself honestly tried and showed itself from its best side. Straight away on holiday feeling.
As always after a night ride or longer beats, we let the day take it easy. Somehow today was indeed a very special day: Our first day in a new country! Or was there something else? Only after a nice email of our groomsmen Hartmut the penny dropped. Of course, ….. our wedding day! To forget this day, would probably not have happened to me in Germany J whole nine years, we believe it is now already out of each other. Good, that we have forgotten this time both. So konnte der Tag ganz entspannt seinen Lauf nehmen 🙂
But first we had to do the paperwork and negotiate the price for our mooring. For here are the mooring fees Throwdown. This cute secret betrayed us friend Martin from the SY Ganesha. Martin is in terms of "negotiating" a very tough guy. For himself and his friends (Subjects such as, thank God) he had negotiated the Super save price two weeks ago. So war also klar, one weeks in La Coruna Special offer for .... (that we do not betray rather).
Ever since the morning was the position of the SY MENTOR under my constant observation over www.marinetraffic.com. Of course we wanted to remove the linen to our friends, when they reach La Coruna. The optimal place for us to dock I had already spotted, now I had to steer the SY MENTOR only there. In the age of FM radio that should not be an issue. Because yes is more likely to spark Dietmars area, yes like the touts for his life, I got the radio a bit skeptical about. Even after multiple calls to channel 16 but I got no answer. Ok, then an attempt with the handheld radio. Again, nothing .... The last possibility was then the phone. No connection! If one so the technology let you down, only one remedy: Ran to the harbor entrance and wave. Das funktioniert immer 😉 So dirigierte ich die MENTOR in die richtige Richtung, and sprinted back to our dock, so fast I wore flip-flops. The plan worked, and the two were received as scheduled on the web.
In the afternoon, Martin and Violetta were to us as local guides at our first exploration by bike to the. The two were already since 2 Weeks with your SY Ganesha in the marina and knew the city as your pocket. By bike we scoured the main stations and began at the city harbor. There, we looked briefly at the SY AMAZONE past, further wanted to sail to the south the next morning. After an emotional reunion, the two had to go and still do last minute shopping.
So we rode on to the best electronics business, the best chandlery, the best bakers and of course the best supermarket - all SY Ganesha quality tested. Northern Spain is for us was another reason why attractive. Food prices are incredibly low by German standards. So we filled our backpacks with all, what is needed for a proper barbecue. A short time later it bruzzelten the first steaks on the grill COB at the dock in front of the berth of SY Ganesha. The first bottle of wine, who was waiting for our reunion since Flensburg, was decapitated and a fun evening was nothing in the way.
