The dreaded Bay Of Biscay!

Callidus Harwich and Beyond

Hi Everyone,

Richard and Bill are safe and sound, if a little battered again by the Bay of Biscay. Unfortunately the boat is leaking quite badly again and they couldn't pump out the water quicker than it was coming in, so they came back into land, rather than persevering across the Bay to Corunna.

The boat needs more tingles, so Bill and Richard are resting over the weekend to recharge their batteries and will look at repairing the leaks etc. next week.

Due to slipping timescales and the bashing the boat has taken to date (all due to the bad weather that they have encountered) it is unlikely that they will continue to Corunna/Lisbon.

The crew and the boat have had a rough times and it's time to reflect and reassess.
