We are still in A Coruna (LaCoruna), Spain along with quite a few other boats waiting for the north winds and the large seas to die down. The last couple of days we have had sunny weather which is a nice change from the grey skies and cold wind we’ve been experiencing the last few weeks. Things are looking up (the glass is half full). Thankfully there is plenty to keep us occupied while we... Read Full Entry

s v Tsamaya

Like so many others we love to travel and we love to sail so cruising makes a lot of sense. Janice has retired from Cornell as a business manager and Bob has retired from South Seneca school district as the high school principal. It's time to sell the house, get rid of whatever doesn't fit on our 40 foot Caliber LRC named Tsamaya (this means Travel Well in Setswana) and set off to see the world. Our reasons for publishing this blog is twofold, first to keep in touch with our friends and family and secondly to share our experiences.

A Great Idea

They have a great system here where you can rent a bicycle at one location and return it to another if you would like. Bike riding is a great way to get around here and we saw many of these being used regularly.

Beaches Everywhere

Every place there is a beach there are people using them – the city provides great access to these areas and they are marked with green, yellow and red warning flags for when it is safe to go in.

Other New Friends

Foz and Lorraine are new friends that we met in LaCoruna – we will be making the crossing of the Bay of Biscay with them and a few other boats heading north.

The Wedding Car

This red, Ford Thunderbird was being used as the car to take the bridal party away after the wedding being held in the church.

Beautiful Coastline

It is obvious by the coastline why the lighthouses were so important here. The dive operations state there are many ancient wrecks in the area – not a surprise.

The Water Is Clear & Cold

We always are amazed at how clear the water is here. Many swim here, but it is too cold for us.

Interesting Sculpture

This “horn” sculpture is set up so it acts as a funnel when waves hit the lower part, they are forced up and out the horn.

One of Many Beaches

Aquarium

There is a very nice aquarium located in town here as well.

Funnicular

We didn’t make it to it, but there is a funicular that will take you up the side of the cliff in a glass enclosed lift so you can get a great view.

Looks like Maine?

Bob Helping Out

A boat came in & needed some repairs. Bob was able to help them out with a solution to their problem as it was similar to a problem we had on our previous boat.

Do You See Where He Is?

Note the grey triangle I put on the photo on the left – it is pointing out where the fisherman on the right is standing. I told Bob no fish is worth that for me!

Flowers Everywhere

We have enjoyed seeing the flowers and color on the hills where ever you hike or bike near here.

Up Close It is Very Tall!

This landmark is called millennium - we don’t know any more information on it as it isn’t even listed on any of the tourist information - it is quite impressive both from a distance and up close.
