23rd May 2009. Special Report from Galicia

This is a short, ‘Special Report from Galicia’ mainly for Andy on board Grand Slam. We met Andy while we were in Lagos watching one of the 6 Nations matches and even though Andy speaks with an accent from ‘South of the Wall’ he is a fervent Scotland supporter. His wife Pam is from deepest darkest Wales and that be from where Andy gets his passion for the name of their boat; but you can read the detail of the naming at his website http://www.ronautica.co.uk/ . But I digress slightly – we are now in Galicia, as you know, and they people here are very proud of their Celtic ancestry, their country and their traditions. You could easily understand why, when you see the surrounding countryside – quite Welsh or Scottish. The wild life when walking through the countryside is also very special and we managed to get a picture (see below) of one of the rarities.

Andy you are going to be verrrry jealous ! ( Yes, Really ! )

Sorry folks but you’ll need to read Andy’s blog for the background to this (Andy is desperate to see his first WM and we may have beaten him to it.).
