An interesting 24 hours has seen Associate3 pass inside Ushant and then head south on a rhumb line course of 208 degrees towards our goal of La Coruna. Whilst we were close to the French coast we updated emails and contacts but were soon in technical wasteland again. Overnight we saw gusts of 25knots from SW requiring a further reef(reduction in sail). Fun in pitch black and rain! Following a grey dawn we have been visited by several schools of dolphins and porpoises - great fun as they jumped and played around in our bow wave and our wake. We are now all in fine and refreshed form in sunshine mid Biscay currently motoring into light winds. Our expectation is that we will close the Spanish coast overnight and enter La Coruna late Sunday morning - on deck yoga lessons permitting.......
