From Brest to Gijón, 298 NM across the Bay of Biscay.
Deciding how to make it to Spain has been a struggle for many boats this season. The orcas along the Spanish and Portuguese coast have been very active and almost daily there were reports of sailboats being attacked and having their rudder destroyed. Some boats decided to go on the inside of the Biscay, staying along the coast, other skipped the northwest corner of Spain all together, and some, like us, headed a bit more east when doing the crossing.
All in all, everything went well and we had a fantastic sailing window with little over 2 days of sailing before making land fall in Spain. The Bay of Biscay is notorious for it's high swells and and fierce winds, but luckily we saw nothing of that and the weather prediction held up better than expected 😃
Our first "long" passage is completed! Hope you'll enjoy sailing along!
