This season's voyage

From the Ijselmeer through the North Sea Channel, passing Amsterdam, exiting out into the North Sea. From there we hope for fair weather and good winds. Most likely we'll touch down at Oostende for some proper victualing (the more South you get, the better the food and drinks). Then off, through the English Channel to the tip of Bretagne. If we're in some luck, it'll just take a few baquettes and croisants for a good weather window to appear. Our plan is to cross the Bay of Biscay from Audierne to A Coruna in approximately 4 days. After passing Cape Finistere we'll take it a little easier to enjoy the West side of the Iberian Pensinsula all the way down to Cabo de Sao Vicente.
Excitement and care are amongt us, as neither of us have ever crossed the Bay of Biscay. We are prepared with an ocean worthy yacht, an ocean worthy crew, ample food, drinks, music, books, charts, cameras, a radar, electric plotter, life raft and an IPERB. In a few days we'll set sail for a journey we've been talking about for a year now. Stay tuned for photos and stories.
