June 25, 2019, and we are still out in the middle of the Ocean!
Winds blowing off the Biscay Bay are giving us beautiful sailing conditions on our approach to the tip of the Iberian Peninsula. If you notice, we made a concerted effort to avoid entering the Biscay Bay thanks to its notoriety. Stories of square waves and punishing winds gave us good reason to steer clear of the Bay and stay safely away out in the North Atlantic Ocean. Our plan was simple, approach from the North but well clear of any land.
The first land we would encounter would be distant shores of the West Coast of Spain on our way down to Portugal. At this point, we would be broad reaching down current towards our destination in Portugal, arriving with the wind and current for record speed days!
