At Sea in the Bay of Biscay
between Spain & Guernsey

Tuesday 21st May 2024
We had anticipated a somewhat dull day with a noticeable sea swell and one that we just had to get through as best we could. What we got was quite the opposite. The sea was calm, the air temperature was warm and we spent most of the day outside on deck. We were delighted to see a lot of birdlife, but the highlight of the day was seeing many, many dolphins, some of which swam alongside the ship, riding the bough wave. It was a beautiful sight and we both really enjoyed our day at sea. In the evening, we were invited to a cocktail party by the captain, which was followed by another excellent meal.
 
 
 
 
Gannets circling above us.
 
Cherries Jubilee was featured for afternoon tea!
 
The most delicious apple and passion fruit mousse was served for dessert in the evening.
 
We enjoyed it so much that Geoff asked for the recipe, which they gave him!
 

After leaving La Coruna last night, we had spent all of today sailing across the Bay of Biscay.

Tonight, we would complete the voyage to Guernsey and after spending tomorrow exploring the island, we would only have one night left on board as we sailed to our final stop, Portsmouth.
