Like other years, some colleagues made a trip from Vigo to the Verdugo river. Three of our ships, Taiña, Chanquete and Trebello, passed under the Arcade and Pontesampaio bridges and sailed upriver. Aided by the tide, they reached the river beach of Comboa, in Soutomaior (Pontevedra). A fast and beautiful trip, helped by a strong south wind and a calm and pleasant ascent along this green and leafy river.
Once again, with the company of the San Gregorio Nautical Group, we returned to work with our friends from COGAMI. This year we made 3 outings with some disabled boys from this federation. A trip that makes them feel very good and they learn a little about traditional navigation. A joy for both them and us.
On Saturday, the 18th, the launching of the mother dorn Uxia was carried out, after five years of works. The event was held at the pontoon of the San Gregorio Nautical Association, in Vigo (Spain) ,with whom we shared this event.
In this beautiful ceremony we had the assistance of the Councilor for Culture of the City of Vigo, Mr. Cayetano Rodríguez Escudero, who honored us with his presence.
Next Saturday, the 18th, will take place on the pontoon of the San Gregorio Nautical Association, Vigo (Galiza-Spain), the launching of our mother dorn UXIA. After almost five years of work the dorna was totally new.
All those who have an interest in our marine culture are invited to the event.
Remadoira attended this year the 15th Meeting of Traditional Boats of Moaña (Galiza-Spain), which all the years the Sueste Association organizes, celebrated on the 11th and 12th of this month.
Remadoira attended the meeting with three boats. A beautiful day with many boats adorning our bay.
Another year, with the collaboration of the San Gregorio Nautical Association, we are once again collaborating with our COGAMI friends. A few guys with disabilities from this federation come with us to take a short cruise through our estuary and thus get up close to a bit of sailing in traditional boats. All an enjoyment for them as well as for us.
