And we’re off across Biscay!

We have just finished the repairs. Refuelled and filled the water tanks. Sourdough is in the oven, mackerel has been converted into Patè. Sadly we cannot find horseradish, so we have instead used wasabi and it works well!

We need to leave tonight, as a very low pressure system is heading our way and we don’t want to get involved in it.

So we will need to keep a constant speed of 6 knots, sail or engine, to avoid any upset. Our friend John will be keeping an eye on the system (a strong gale) and if it speeds up will advise us by satellite phone, so that we can dip south and shelter in any of the N Spanish ports or harbours.

So will update when we make landfall in Spain 🇪🇸. In the words of Boris Johnson – hasta la vista – baby!
