Roscoff

It seems that days before the end of the 🇪🇸🇫🇷 (2-1) game ended, France already knew what was coming. As it has been raining and raining and raining for days. France is crying.

The sail from Lézardrieux was a wet one and a bit of a stormy one. Yet, we felt really good about how Nimrod was doing and how we trimmed and reefed her sails.

As we cruised by Les Sept-Îles, I desperately searched for Atlantic Puffins, as this would probably be our last chance to see them, until I became too nauseous and had to give up.

When we almost arrived in Roscoff and prepared to enter the harbor the genoa furlex system was stuck. Bart battled against the wind and genoa and eventually beat both by fully taking down the genoa. Unfortunately the genoa tore a little bit in the luff (voorlijk). Luckily, the sailmaker had it fixed by noon the day after.

While we wait for a better weather window we continue the attempt to install Starlink at 12V. The 12V already works while I write this, credits to Bart (forgot to tell you that the attempt in Lézardrieux didn't go as smooth since we had a little bit of a short circuit and half of our electrics on the boat didn't work anymore😬, but luckily we were, eventually, able to find the fuses).Read more
