We had a stormy sky to send us off across Biscay, but the forecast was OK and so we set off for La Coruña, leaving behind the iconic Vauban tower in Cabaret, and heading out past the dramatic cliffs of Brittany.
It was encouraging to see that there were several other boats heading in the same direction.
It is a three day sail to Spain, and Biscay is notoriously dangerous where the sea floor rises from a depth of thousands of metres to become relatively shallow and the Atlantic swells can suddenly become dangerous as they are slowed by the seafloor and become steep and breaking.
