Subject: La Coruna After finally getting all the repairs done in
Falmouth, we cast off at 05:30 Friday 24th of October for La Coruna across the
dreaded Bay of Biscay!
For the first two days we had sunshine and great
sailing, we've seen dolphins, and on one night watch Janne and Lotta had a whale
surface 10m from the boat!
Yesterday the weather took a turn for the worse,
and the night sailing was really difficult, with no moon or stars, and it being
a bit misty you can't see the end of the boat or the waves, so theres no
points of reference just the compass!
With rough seas, rain and rabid portugese
fishing boats the conditions arriving into La Coruna could have been a bit
better! Still we arrived saftely and celebrated with a fine
breakfast of a couple whisky's and an omlette!!
The weather for our onward journey to Maderia
dos'nt look too good, with strong winds and rain.
But first there's a dinner and a few deinks waiting
out on the town!
Lotta och Janne säger HEJ! till Nicco, Hampus och
Emil!
