Crossing the Bay of Biscay (Patreon)

Hi Guys, 

Some places are infamous in sailing history! Any stretch of water can be dangerous, but certain places have bad reputations. The Bay of Biscay is one of those places. We were in no rush and waited for a good weather window, so it was a pleasant and comfortable passage for us. This time of year, the good weather windows can be hard to come by. Unfortunately, we had to compromise and do roughly two days' worth of motoring (too little wind), but I think that was a good choice this time of the year. 

Upon arriving in Gijon, we promptly jumped on a bus to Santander to pick up our new staysail. Athena finally has a complete set of sails again! 

Thank you so much for your support! I hope you have a fantastic weekend :)
