Monday, Bay of Biscay
Sunlight, NE winds of between 25 and 30 knots 2-3 meter waves. Reefed mizzen, reefed genoa and we're trotting along doing 6 knots. We are enjoying ourselves playing the new game called "fishing boat slalom". You start by finding the one spot in the ocean with most fishing boats, we have 13 in our immediate vicinity going around in circles. Then you try to navigate your way through the bunch while calling them on the VHF without luck. Either they don't speak english, or they just don't bother with sailors. Packs of dolphins are hanging around either as spectators or to investigate our towing generator, which they seem to find very interesting. We are now running with the wind and waves due south with 259M to go to La Coruna, we've done 330M in 54 hours, an avarage speed of 6 knots, not too bad. It's calm enough for hot chicken and I'm no longer sea sick. Oh Joy!!

Good Going! Prognosen ser ju god ut hela veckan! Varför inte klippa Portugals kust också? Hoppas allt väl ombord Ingeborg!

Heja heja, ser att ni är framme. Skålar för er här ombord på Mary (nu på Lanzarote). Vi planerar hänga på Gran Canaria hela november. Hoppas hoppas vi får se era härliga nyllen där. Missa inte Islas Cies på vägen (södra Galicien). Kram.
