I booked a couple of days anchoring at Islas Cies, this is very easy to do as we had completed formalities last year. A couple of hours saw us approaching the Praia Rodas on the west side of the main island, we dropped anchor under sail and noticed a French boat from Cangas already at anchor.
This was the day after the terrorist attack at the Manchester Arena and Alex had been awake most of the night chatting with his friends on messenger, One of Alexs friends had been missing for a few hours after attending the concert. She turned up safe to everyones immense relief..We let Alex have a doze before going ashore.
The Islas Cies are a truly stunning place, the water is crystal clear, the sands are clean and white, the air is heavy with pine and eucalyptus. It was a million miles away from the tragic events unfolding at home.
Alex used his rowing skills to drop us off on the beach.
The heat was growing and the water looked very inviting.......
Alexs factor 50 seemed to be working well!
That evening we enjoyed a lovely sunset and looked forward to exploring the island tomorrow.
As the breeze died we were left alone, the French couple aboard their boat from Cangas our only company.
