Yesterday Biscay lived up to its reputation and threw up all weather possible (except snow!) At times it was very wet and windy with a very bouncy sea. Sea sickness struck. but all much calmer today.Just over 60nm to go. We hope to be tucked up in La Coruna before the next bad weather hits. Getting much warmer. Dolphins and porpoises spotted.
