Gijon

28.5. Gijon. The plans have changed. We found out that the next harbor, Ribadesella, isn’t actually a decent marina but just a basin with fixed piers without any facilities so we decided to stay here. The big low came in last night and the strong wind is going to last until Thursday night. We plan to leave Gijon Friday morning and cross the Biscay. The destination depends on the winds. Yesterday we took a taxi to a huge hardware store and bought plywood and other stuff for the new shelves in the saloon cupboard. Not many boats here, there’s only a couple English and French boats in marina. It has been raining most of the night and it doesn’t look much better now. We received a message from Tigs the previous night, they had reached Ile Oussant to the west from Brest.
