So funny - "here comes our squall !". On my last crossing of Biscay, I stopped counting when the number got to 40 - and they were all full of wind too.

ahaha we had the best of times, but the squalls never caught up...somehow lucky but somehow we would have loved to get one or two - a wash down of the boat would have been nice=) really happy it did not get to 40 though=) did you manage to escape most of them or were there some brutal ones?

Hi Duncan, we were mostly handsteering with high waves and wind - then at least 4-5 hours a day - on the normal days only 1 hour...we have about 600 watts of solars fitted but the batteries here are the problem, only 200 Ah and no lithium...have to change those asap...if you plan to do a crossing put them on port side;) more sun there as all the rest gets mainly blocked by sails etc...=)
