Everyone will hear the exit signal at 2: 00 in the afternoon in front of the Vigo Transatlantic Pier. After overcoming a buoy, they will start a tour that will force them to pass through two more beacons, that of the Negra, to the north of the Serralleiras Islands; and that of Carallones, to the south, at the entrance to Baiona Bay. Depending on the route chosen, they will be between 12 and 14 and a half miles before crossing the arrival line. An attractive tour for a day in which weather forecasts announce good conditions to navigate, especially in the river of Vigo, with sun, a pleasant temperature and winds of the west-west that will blow with an intensity of 8 to 12 knots. In Baiona Bay, just at the end of the tour, the situation will be complicated, with more irregular and loose winds. If everything goes as planned, the navigation will be agile and the fleet will arrive in Baiona with comfort in less than three hours.
