Wind NW up to 25kts and seas up to 2.5m. 
We weighed anchor and left Candas harbour shortly after a rain shower had passed over. The morning was cloudy but it cleared in the afternoon. We had little wind initially but picked up and we set sail at 08:45. The wind strengthened and we put in 2 reefs at 11:00.

We did not see many other boats. The 9m monohull Geisha passed us doing 1-2kt more than us as we approached San Vincent. 

The entrance into Ria San Vicente was quite tense as we had some swell, a 20kt crosswind and 2-3kt current against us but once inside it became tranquil. 

Finding a spot with more than 1.5 m at lw proved hard with the tidal flow and crosswind and in the end I became fast in 0.7m. We will have to wait until 01:40 to refloat and finish anchoring.
