In La Coruña, Spain after boring incident

Yes, we are safe, but our forestay snapped with a scary sound halfway to Falmouth and we chose to go to Spain to do the repairs. It was 200 nm shorter and, wind was more favourable and we had a weatherforecast for the entire period it would take. We decided that we could sail in light winds if we had the wind from behind. The first day we sailed to come within engine range of La Coruna. The last 4 days we have been hand steering while motoring. Because of only light winds, we avoided big motions in the boat and we don´t thing further damage is done to the rig. Now we will stay here until the repairs are done, probably also changing the backstay, and than set out for the crossing of Biscay.





We have been here in La Coruña before, the 21th of August 2005 we arrived here from Falmouth. So that means that Bonanza has crossed it´s wake for the first time on this journey!
