Our last French port! It took us another long 70+ nm to get to Bayonne. Also we were very unsure whether they would have a spot for us. Willem (WoL) had called the day before and they had told him that the harbour was already full. We decided we should take some pride in our stubbornness and disobedience and just go for it. Somewhere in the harbour we would be able to find a spot, last resort could always be the fuel dock.
The sail itself was another long motor sailing trip, which we have gotten a little bit too good at to our liking. But since there was barely any wind and we had a long way to go we had the engine on for the good part of the trip. When we were still sailing, at the beginning of the day, we were a bit in front of the WoL, but once we needed the engines too we saw them disappear into the distance.
As we were getting close to Bayonne WoL informed us that indeed the only place left for us was the fuel dock. A perfect spot for our last night in France since we would leave in the morning to, finally, set sail to España!!Read more
