Midwatch 11-12-13 Bay of Biscaye

All is well out here on the bay.

We just saw some whale spouts in the distance and a few tails...very exciting.  We have had  very little wind for the past 12-18 hours so we decided to run the engine to keep moving.  Nopoint in being a purist sailor on the Bay of Biscay in November.  

Had a hot meal and a good nap for mom and dad.  Kids are doing great.

We are prepped as we can be for a front and the 30 kt winds expected behind it.  That should hit within the next few hours.  Looks like it will blow in the 30's along the Portuguese     coast for the next two or three days so we should have some exciting sailing.
