Ah, Cape Finisterre, otherwise known as “Costa de la Muerte” or Cost of Death due to all the shipwrecks that have occurred here over the centuries.

In Portuguese waters now and a large wind power generator way off shore.  I’m glad we sailed by it in the daylight.

One of our avid Blog followers spotted Sea Rose entering the Porto harbor from the jetty and took these pictures and forwarded them to us. There’s a fine line between “followers” and “stalkers”.

We tied up, washed the boat and were rewarded with this great view of one of the many bridges crossing the Douro River.  The Port gape vineyards are some 123 kilometers up this river.

After a few sundowners we decided to walk into town along the river.  The old town is well lit up at night.
