*July 2020- We started the adventure…

2020-07-28

12:30 pm we leave our berth for the last time in Arcachon.

Clément come with us to the beach

Friends escorted us with the motorboats to Mimbeau beach where we spent the day.

We had a picnic with oysters offered by our friends from La Cabane du Paliquey, we had a wonderful day, full of emotions.

At 8:30 p.m. everyone left.

We prepare to cross the passes before dark.

Finally outside at 10:30 pm on a calm sea, a mild wind and a starry sky wrapped in the Milky Way.

The picnic was too drunk for me and was unsuccessful for this first stopover.

The night is dry and calm, we take the opportunity to do our guards outside with just a little blanket.

The dawn was magnificent. Not a cloud on the horizon and no fishing rod in the water, Richard refused, saying that we have all the life to fish.

A group of pilot whales came to greet us less than 50 mts from the boat.

It is 11:30 am, we crack and Richard cranks up the engine. Even if we were not hurry, at 2 knots, we would have arrived in Gijón a hundred hours later.

SUNSET FROM MONDAY 27

Two hours before arriving on Tuesday morning some dolphins came to play with the boat, even though our speed did not exceed 4 knots.

And finally here we are in Gijon, our friends Eva and Gofer are waiting for us to welcome us!
