The adventure begins, we left Elizabeth marina at 0730. The swell was still 5'and the wind South Westerly force 5 and we were heading straight into it. We decided to wait in St. Brelade's Bay for the wind to die down. Well done Jersey Met, as forecasted it all happened and we set off at 12.30. The sea became slight and we decided to head into Camaret Sur Mer at 1900 as the lure of a good French meal had become too hard to resist.
Plates of fresh langoustine, confit of duck, salmon and bass followed by spectacular sweets did not disappoint at the Hotel du Styvel. We all slept well that night.

Now Stphanie, all those good meals will do your waistline no good! But after the trip across the Bay of Biscay I dare say you were ready for another gastro feast!!

Hi all
There is no WiFi in the marina that the Saltire bunch are in tonight so they have asked me to provide you with the next update. They left Gijon yesterday to go round Finistair, however due to harsh weather conditions they were unable to round the corner. They set off early this morning and spent 6 hours in a 30 foot swell with 40 foot waves. They eventually rounded the corner and safely arrived in Bayona this afternoon, finally finding the warm sunshine that they have been dreaming of!
Tomorrow they are heading for Lisbon where Peter Lunnon is joining them. On Thursday they are planning on sailing to Villa Mora, followed by Gibraltar on Friday where Brian and I will be meeting them.
Hopefully they will be able to give you their own encounter within the next day or so.
Selina
