• Laredo

    Aug 17–18, 2024 in Spain ⋅ ☁️ 23 °C

    After a little bit of a night out, we went to a tribute to Queen band which very Spanish started at 23:30 (review: musicians were great, singer not so much), we left a bit later in the day to go to Laredo. Our WoL friends have unfortunately been stuck in Laredo due to a problem with their engine (looks like there is a solution now that we write this), but it also means we get to catch up.

    The sail itself is quite a tricky one. We are going against the waves, which are very short here, with not a lot of wind. In other words it is a very choppy situation and it makes me quite nauseous. Bart doesn't seem to be bothered at all. As we sail towards Laredo we slowly leave Basque Country behind us. We have absolutely loved our time here and can absolutely recommend going here sometime.
