Making good progress across the Bay of Biscay with only 170 miles left to
run until La Coruna.
After passing Ushant yesterday morning we have been able to maintain a
direct line to La Coruna despite the wind veering and strengthening.
A great sunset last night , accompanied by a small pod of energetic
dolpins, followed a couple of hours later by an orange full (maybe another day
yet?) full moon rising last night.
We took the pole off the genoa this morning and now have wind nicely
on port beam, with 2 reefs in main and reefed genoa. We haven’t used the
asymetric yet, winds generally too strong.
Hope to get to La Coruna late Wednesday afternoon, early
evening. |
