Captain Nervous in the Spanish fog
Captain Nervous in the Spanish fog.
The Northwestern coast of Spain is prone to fog and this week, we head right into it on our way from La Coruña to Islas Cíes.
After a couple of weeks spent away from the oat on a business trip, Ryan is back at the boat and we can finally continue our journey towards the Med.
We day hop in the Spanish Rias and anchor at Ria de Camariñas and Ria de Muros. On both days, the fog catches us by surprise, and we end up spending our passage motoring, spotting for the numerous crab pots and fishing boats that famously navigate the waters of Galicia.
On the first day, the fog had us nervous, but the visibility was still OK. On the second day though, we could only see a couple of boat length in front of us, and the captain was definitely nervous.
The type of fog we encountered and that is common in this area of Spain was called “advection fog”. At the end of the video, Ryan explains what creates it, how it is possible to deal with it and a few lessons learned from our own experience.
