Sailing the "Costa del Morte"

We're off at 10:30 am, and soon sailing with goose-winged sails, the wind right behind. Just a pleasant breeze all the way down, until the approach to Camariñas.

The winds near shore, inside some rugged rocks awash, give us a good tilt. Now we're roaring along the rocky shore of "Costa del morte". Good waypoints and various landmarks guide us well into Camariñas’ harbor. It's a barren, rocky coast, with some spectacular "cubistic" formations, and square lighthouses.

A solid gold coast in the evening light as we sail in.
