Firefly - Day 2 entering Biscay



At Firefly's departure, Paul's great friend Barney arranged for the new Lady Vicar of Kingsbridge to give Firefly and her crew a blessing for the forthcoming voyage around the world. Not wanting to tempt providence but so far the 'Big Fella' is looking after us well and we are doing 7 knots close reaching on port tack towards Finisterre. We are expecting the wind to veer later today and then we plan to tack and head into the Bay of Biscay to avoid some stronger winds that are forecast on the rhumb line.

After such a great send off the first night arrived very quickly. We enjoyed Barney's delicious prawn curry and then got into the watch system. This is working well so far helped by a pod of up to 6 dolphins joining us to play, diving in and out of our phosphorescent sparkled wake, they stayed with us for hours. Now just passing the end of the TSS off Ushant and the journey so far so good!
Paul,Murray and Peter
