We get to feel the headwind and the waves in the Bay of Biscay

After a lovely stay in Saint Martin de Re we have to move on. The trip goes to Les Sables-d´Olonne, a distance of 25 nm. With some wind forecast, it will be exciting.

The lock doesn't open until 12:30 so we enjoy the morning and afternoon in St. Martin with some fixing and breakfast outside.

It's blowing up to a slight gale in the gales out there, right in our face. So we'll be pounding against the sea with the engine for five hours!

Les Sables - d'Olonne is also the start and stop for the "Vendée Globe". It's extra fun when we enter the harbor and see the pier where several of the boats are moored.

We have a quiet afternoon with dinner on the boat, the finale "Summer Cabin" and a short evening trip ashore with Crepe for dinner.

Great ending to the evening when Ida finds out that a bird has pooped through the skylight!!
