From Vannes I sailed on to the Île de Noirmoutier. On board was now Claudio, a colleague from my newspaper in Zürich. We enjoyed lovely sailing until we star...

finally it was time to cross the Biscay

all the people I met in la rochelle told

me that it would be best to do that from

l.joe so I save back to Elizabeth alone

and then to the illu I was accompanied

by another sailor Lars from Norway he

came up from Spain and was on his way to

England and Island we sailed together

and we also had some fun together like

in this salad alone well we were invited

to a karaoke a nil you it was time to

say goodbye as Lara sailed up northwards

and I prepared myself to cross whiskey

but before that I installed a AIS

transmitter receiver to be seen by other

ships a last investment in safety but

then the day came Saturday May 14th well

we're on our way we put up the spinnaker

and going quite nicely between 4.4 knots

and 5.5 the weight is fine still some

waste but the course in war west then

Southwest so we are running

we're running out into the bay that

should be alright

and then we go south after a while I had

to take down the spinnaker but it was

still very nice sailing and the AIS did

its job

so

now the wind is down to voter but see

Stan as well at least morning it's now

10 past 5:00 wind is blowing from North

North West so I had to alter my course a

little bit too it's the South but it's

still ok we can say that's the very best

and I wake up every half an hour do you

have a look around for the last three

hours there was nothing around before

there was a car ownership and fishing

vessel but now we're on our own

so I have another half an hour

it's now Sunday 12 o'clock we have

another around 150 miles to go up to now

the wind is quite steady yeah 10 knots

and we are hmm

making 5.5 knots over the ground so it's

a nice sitting right now I hope it stays

I hope it stays like this 7 o'clock

Sunday evening engine is running since 3

o'clock because there is no engine no

think for the rest of the journey we

have to use some view but at least blue

area and all who had company

and actually I've never seen so many

dolphins like on this journey

so it's time to do morning

writers around

and a lot of dolphins play

there's absolutely no

Emil's 7:00 in the morning filled that

policy playing golf it's round and some

shifts I have my ass but

in sight so

well the ethnonyms he was quite okay I

managed much better to sleep in a

30-minute with me

well maybe it's true what they say that

after three days you can used to it well

who knows I just sent Catherine a

message with the EU

and reply now there are a couple of

fishing methods out there during the

night there was not much traffic but the

my dolphins all the night playing around

the boats this was amazing amazing well

I'm heading to Rivera it will take me

another six hours to get there but yeah

it's great it's great we almost made it

one day early afternoon we arrived at

the coast of Spain to be honest it looks

a little bit like Switzerland just with

the sea I called the marina of Rivera on

the VHF and asked for birth no problem

was the answer and I was warmly welcomed

by the harbor master himself and now the

next step will be Laconia
