Halfway across a fairly benign Bay of Biscay (Please Madame Biscay stay that way!) Having to motorsail all the way so far, but rather that than a screaming hoolie.

We left Camaret Sur Mer at 05:00 yesterday 5 August 09 and it is now 10:00 on Thursday. We hope to arrive in Vigo Northern Spain in the early hours of Saturday morning.

Big spread out rolling waves have greeted us with breaching whales, laughing dolphins dancing around the bows (an awesome sight) and some ominous looking shark fins, but alas no fish on the hook yet.
