June 26, 2019, and we are coming closer to land!
As we approach the North West point of the Iberian Peninsula, we face a Southerly wind which could blow us into the Bay of Biscay. Thankfully we are far enough out that we don’t have to worry much about course and still generally be sailing in the right direction towards our destination. We simply sailed on a beam reach on port tack as we made our way through the calmer seas.
The smoother ride was a huge relief for us being how we had had many days of heavy winds leading up to this point. The calm weather meant that we could relax, cook, and rest up as we prepared to soon be making landfall.
