Ahoy,
the sun is out and things seem to be moving forwards. I have exchanged a little knowledge on GPS wiring for some excellent International Anti-foul.If your interested the snazzy racing one, the one that looks all copper coloured before it turns black. Having applied a wire brush then acid to the rust, a healthy coat of Primacon and now this VC17 m, I am very pleased with her keel. As I have said before she is an old girl, but a good girl, the engine is well and happy and so is the stern gear and gearbox. All tanks are full and her batteries are fully charged. Once I have Anti- fouled the rest of the hull we are ready to leave. (a little revision on this Brittany coastline) It will be a day of mixed emotion, as the Roscofvites have treated us both well and I have eaten some of the most beautiful food at the hospitality of others, whilst meeting some very kind and genuine people.

What do I do next, what I want to do against the advice of far better sailors than myself is take an opposing curve to the bay of Biscay, out into the Atlantic heading for Vigo, northern Spain. The advice I have been given is to head into the Bay and make day passages all the way round. This sounds like sound advice to me as I have no experience as yet on blue water sailing, on the other hand, one day will always be my first day and instinct counts for.......
