Hello sailors. This week, we explore Ribadesella, sail to Gijon, and then continue west to Aviles.
We begin in Ribadesella, where we learn about the hórreo granary houses, which are typical of this region. The Hórreo were used to store seeds, nuts and fruits in times of plenty for times of scarcity. They were constructed out of wood and designed to keep produce dry, ventilated and away from pests. #asturias #ribadesella #horreo
As we depart from Ribadesella, we have to calculate the tides to ensure we have enough depth, but even still, we need to stick to a careful track to avoid grounding on the sandbar. We capture our spring from the dock and a little mistake when we leave the bouyed channel. Oops. #sailingfail #passageplanning #pilotage
In #Gijon , Yewy enjoys iberico ham and Rob cooks up a storm #regionalfood #spanishcooking #spanishfood
We also show how to climb the mast safely. We go through our safety equipment and set up.
