The day started with a great breakfast from Jimmy at Coill an Rois B&B including porridge with Baileys Cream. Then long walk over Mt. Brandon in fog and bit of rain. Very wet at pass.

The sail is quiet. Glad to keep a distance from the large tour ships steaming occasionally by. We enjoy the quiet. And Captain Sabri and First Mate Hamada could not be better hosts. We enjoyed a peaceful stop on the sandy shore of The Nile. Great food and a walk where of course a local …
Last year I walked “The Way”, the La Compostela de Santiago from St. Jean Pied de Port to Santiago where St. James’ bones lay in the Cathedral, and on to Finisterre
