We left Cadiz at 01:00 about 6 hours after a storm had passed. The wind was initially W 10kt in the harbour, slightly more outside. The swell was 1.5-2m and we had a couple of rain showers. By dawn the wind was only 7kt and sky partially cloudy and we motored. It picked up from SW towards evening and we sailed again. 

6/4: Headed N with wind SE 15kt. As we passed Sines mid afternoon the wind veered and rose so we went to 2 reefs. 

7/4: Wind dropped at sunset with clear skies: we motored through the night setting sail at dawn, wind E 10kt then veered to W. Good sailing!

8/4: Quiet night, little wind so motored. By noon the sea was calm and we had <5kt from E. By 17:00 we had a long 2m swell from SW with NNE 10kt as we passed a Portuguese wind farm and crossed back into Spanish waters. 
We made our way up the Vigo estuary in moonlight and anchored off Moaña at 00:40 9/4. 
The following morning we moved to a berth at Moaña marina. 

Distance logged 510.3nm in 95.7hrs. We used motors 40.3hrs & 41.2hrs.
