28.9.2014 La Coruna
25 - 27.9.2014 Biscay , Wo ,oops my daugter has not left the boat in Brest and is stil sailing with me.
My new crewmember is also sailing with me to at least to Lisboa. Maybe to Lagos around Cabo de Saint Vincent.
We had a beautiful sail across the Bay of Biscay. Downwind all the way, E to NE . One day motoring. In the evening we got the sails up at last. Next day beautiful and fast sailing to Cabo de Finisterre. After the sunset the wind started to blow more than 30 knots and the swell around Cabo de Finisterre made the sailing a bit too sporty. So, we shortened the sails to minimum and sailed 10 more nautical miles.We made a sad decision to find a way to La Coruna, because the night was on hand and still 100 miles to go to Bayona.
The last bit was a tough sailngl to La Coruna. We were pointing as high up the wind as possible. and had a wery wet 10 miles ride to La Coruna. Sailing to the big harbour of La Coruna in the morgning 08.00.
3 days and 2 hours, the Biscay.
