It’s been a long week. Our ferry crossing to Santander was originally schedule for Wednesday, some 4 days ago and we should now already be basking in the Spanish sunshine. Storm Imogen put paid to that and the ferry services to Northern Spain have been in chaos ever since. We finally rebooked on the 23:30 two night crossing to Bilbao which should arrive early Tuesday morning.
Presently the seas are relatively calm but we are at the moment heading to Brest for a crew change, a departure from the original scheduled stop at Roscoff due to more bad weather. Then it’s sixteen hours over the Bay of Biscay…
A tip for fellow travellers. We signed up to Brittany Ferries “Club Voyage” which despite the up front cost of £220 has already saved us money on the crossing.
Here’s the rig just before departure from Hampshire on Sunday, 17:15.
