[status] On passage Cabo Verde to Lorient France. Day 20.

The Bay of Biscay has a fearsome reputation but for us it is being kind, over kind. The wind is behind us but not enough of it. We could progress very slowly under sail but we have the bit between our teeth and want to get there so we are burning diesel instead. We have had dolphins with us a couple of times today, cavorting under the bow or jumping, rolling and tail smacking. Plenty of ships, all on a track between Ushant and Finisterre, so we have been crossing them.
135 miles to go.

[speed] 5.0 knots
[heading] 072 degrees true
[weather] Wind W 9kts. 0.0m waves. Sky 20% cloud. Baro 1013
