We have left Brest.
We got the sails up in the sunshine outside the harbour. The Catamaran R5 flys out of Ras Dde Siene hitting 10 knots.
A French Flotilla apeears. They are following us. The pull up on the portside. Its a race. They went to the left channel and we to the right. Local knowledge vs brutal speed of R5. The cat pounced on the waves as the smashed into the bows. The sails full of wind. The Frenchies with full Gennikers billowing with wind arr cutting through the smooth waters far to our left. Onward, onward, half a league more R5 charged ahead cutting down the choppy waters. Onward, onward we sail despite drop in speed Fabio felt confident enough to put the kettle on for a brew. Were are the Frenchies? But to the stern of course. (See picture)
So good buy to France and thanks for Vodafone 4G.
We will drop off AIS later today. So long for now folks.
