A little bit of DIY and some exploring :) (Patreon)

Hi guys,

This video was recorded between October 3rd and October 9th. I install a marine satellite compass from Garmin, we explore Cambarro, and sail on to Ria de Vigo. 

Having now had the chance to use the MSC10 for a few weeks now, we have encountered no issues. It does what it says on the box - high-accuracy GPS position with heading information. 

Back in "real time" (October 28th), I think we might have a single-day weather window to go to Porto on Sunday - fingers crossed! I'm a little nervous about two things. The fishing nets along the Portuguese coast and the orcas. Do any of you have any recommendations about the fishing nets? How far from the shore should we be to avoid them? 

As for the orcas, I've seen a single interaction in the last two weeks. That was yesterday down by Lisbon. The fact that only one attack was recorded in two weeks doesn't mean the situation improved. The weather has been horrible here the last two weeks, so nobody has been out sailing. We saw the same thing when we were in A Coruna, and back then, it seemed almost like the orcas doubled down once the weather improved. Anywho we will have our live tracker on as always on https://share.garmin.com/saillife 

I hope you have a fantastic weekend :) Thank you so much for your support! Stay safe :)
