Sailing back across Biscay: Whales & Woes! #82

Back across Biscay…..Whales & Woes! Late June and the long awaited weather window for us to cross Biscay had finally arrived! The weather forecast was for an improving sea state and favourable winds as the passage went on, and so we set off with high hopes of making the 500nm trip back to the U.K in one 4 day passage….. We were quite quickly reminded how tough offshore sailing can be when seasickness struck but then came the unique rewards of incredible wildlife experiences…. #followintrepidbear #bayofbiscay #offshoresailing #passagemaking #sailing #sailinglife #sailingstories #seasickness #whalesighting #deepbluesea #ocean #liveaboard #sailboats #sail
