We have had a mixed 24hrs, with the initial strong northerlies that Zephyr romped and revelled in dying away to leave mixed light airs that necessitated some motor-sailing over night. This afternoon we have also had a lovely sail with a breeze on the port beam. The truth (and relief to be honest!) is that the most exciting sailing was in the English Channel, with Biscay proving remarkably benign.

There has been a surprising number of porpoises and dolphins during the trip, which we hope signifies the health of this part of the Atlantic.

It is a beautiful evening as we approach the dramatic peaks of Galicia, tumbling into the Bay of Biscay.

It has been a wonderful trip, with top crewmates all, so thank you for including me and happy cruising in Las Rias en Galicia!
