Hell of a Shock in La Coruna




After another bouncy day at sea we arrived at La Coruna feeling very tired. the seas had been big with breaking waves and the wind on the nose as usual and force 9 with gusts. I think Sal will remember Cape Finistere for ever. We arrived looking for the new marina. having found it we asked for a berth only to be told take anyone you fancy. We thought this is good and settled in to a nice new berth and plugged in the electrics to put the kettle on. "Excuse me came the call from a dutchman" have you seen the charges for here? He then almost gave me a heart attack they wanted €10 per metre per night. SAL cut the lines were off bloody quick. On arrival at the old marina the marinero said thought you would be here in a minute. Welcome and we only charge €14 per night for your boat. So be warned New isn't always better.
