After a fast 24 hour white sail reach in rough conditions with significant swell and waves, we were alongisde in Port Vauban Camaret at 1230UT.  The passage from Terceira in the Azores to mainland Europe took 13 days with 1,389 nautical miles sailed.  Having showered and enjoyed some French hospitality, we now look forward to a calm and undisturbed night's sleep.
