At anchor in La Coruna - Our first night on anchor

At anchor in La Coruna.


The first night we spend at anchor was at La Coruna in Spain. I was amazed with how quickly the Rocna 40kg anchor dug in. It was a beautiful anchorage, next to the local beach, and harbor. The lights of the buildings looked impressive from out spot at anchor. As the rain was poring down, we were enjoying some light dinner. As a precaution, I had set 2 anchor alarms, one using the navigation system, and one using my nexus 10. The Anchor never dragged even a centimeter according to the gps. The nexus 10 anchor alarm went off, but this was only due to a change of the wind direction. The wind had calmed down from 30 knots out at sea, to a mere 15 knots while we where in the sheltered anchorage. We have enjoyed our best night of sleep so far, even better than the night before in the local marina.
