Friday 15th August

We set off at 7.00am to Benodet to refuel ready to cross the Bay of Biscay. It was sunny but very cold for the time of year and the sea slight. Unfortunately the forecast for Biscay was NW 5 to 7 backing southerly so we decided to head for La Rochelle instead. At least if we were going to be delayed it was a great place to be. We ate Stephanie’s Cowboy pie on board and retired early.
