BAY OF BISCAY - We left Brighton around 5pm Wednesday and started off with the genaker :-)
After a while though the wind dropped and we got down to 1.8 kt speed.We started the engine to keep some speed. The night was clear and full of stars.
The winds stayed very light so we kept on motorsailing into the second night.
For a few hours we had some really thick fog. So again I was very pleased with the sea-me and the AIS.Today, Friday, again the weather is very nice. The wind picked up a bit and we killed the engine, still doing 8.5 kt over ground !
The wind is supposed to become easterly. That would be great for a direct leg to La Coruña. If that would really happen, we'd make the whole trip from Brighton to La Coruña in one single tack !!
