If only I could freeze this moment in time. I’m sailing along the Costa da Morte in Galicia, following a section of the Camino de Santiago. Skipper Federico Fernández-Trapa Fontán – Fico to his friends – seems to fuel the 49-foot yacht with jokes and laughter, while his cousin Tai Gonzalez sings songs about the sea and the Way.

It’s the first live music I’ve heard since lockdown and it’s a perfect moment.
