When sailing south off of the coast of Portugal, do we deal with Orcas or shipping lanes with the largest of cargo ships? Our choice: ships. We thought it might be easier to call a ship on the VHF than negotiate with an attacking Orca. Of course, to get to the relative safety near the shipping lanes, we must first push through coastal waters where boats have been attacked mere days before we left. Will we make it? _________________________________ *** Help support our channel by making purchases through our DrakeParagon affiliate links: * Cybertake S2 Pro Portable Air Conditioner: https://cybertake.com/products/s2-pro?sca_ref=10723314.xfHurLjlQ43&sca_source=%22S2%20Pro%20For%20US%22 * Fogstar LiFePO4 batteries: https://www.fogstar-drift.co.uk/?ref=DrakeParagon * Bodega electric coolers: https://www.bodegacooler.com/?click_id=DrakeParagon * BLUETTI LiFePO4 power stations EU: https://bluettieu.pxf.io/jrP9Aa * BLUETTI LiFePO4 power stations US: https://bluettius.sjv.io/jrPv4Z *Navily cruising guide app: Get 30% OFF Navily Premium with code: "DRAKE30" - Important: The discount only works if you sign up on the WEBSITE: https://www.navily.com/navily-premium.

And so the journey begins. We start on the north Atlantic coast of Spain with a destination of Tunisia in northern Africa. Between those two places are jagged and rocky coasts, attacking pods of Orcas, shipping traffic, blustery weather, waves and...the unknown. Because we are sailing into a place where everything is new to us.

It's important to keep your wits about you when sailing this close to the coast of France, especially at night! And while we'd like to think that everyone keeps a vigilant watch while underway, that is often not the case.

We checked the weather, made a voyage plan, raised the anchor and pushed off. It should be a lovely sail on a beam reach. But reality out on the water is often different from what was predicted!

With our time in the Schengen area running low, we've got to start thinking about getting out of France. First, we'll leave the beautiful and protected anchorage in the Golfe du Morbihan and head north to Brest. The journey is just over 100 miles but, with variable wind and some seriously swift currents, we've got to make sure our voyage plan is on point!
