We probably had the best biscay crossing one could wish for, we left early Mon morning with a W-NW 3-5 giving average speeds of just over 8knts. Were greeted by many pods of dolphins which helped pass the time of day, then by nightfall the wind died away to nothing so we had to motor through the night which was great as the seas went almost flat. Sadly we didn't catch any tuna, which was probably for the best as we had no idea how we would land them anyway. It was a fantastic hot sunny day followed by a stary night. We drifted into La Rochelle early Tues morning just in time for Oz to jump on the no 7 bus to the airport and catch his lunchtime filght. Perfect :-)
