Still in Falmouth.
It's been a long weekend as Monday was Bank holiday. There were lots of people on the boats in the Marina, but most of them just spent their weekend onboard - and never went anywhere.
We went into town centre and did some shopping/sighseeing.
We bought passage charts for Bay of Biscay and the Iberian Atlantic Coast pluss a couple of good pilot books for the same area.
As Geir was about to pay, he discovered his mobile phone was gone, and with it - his credit cards!
We ended up dialing his number and it was answered by the driver of the taxi that had driven us into town. He was some distance away and we agreed he would deliver the phone to the marina office.
Sigh of relieff - it could have been lost - and as we are travelling, getting new ones is very difficult.
With Bank holiday over we could finally get to work on the boat.
We haven't decided yet which route to take accros the Bay of Biscay. As the weather forecast looks now it would be best to sail Falmouth to Camaret-Sur-Mer near Brest and from there to Gijon, Spain.
Winds will be from NNE - but near La Coruna a bit too windy. As we still have lots of time we can sail "the longer way" and get there more plesantly.
Welcome to our sail blog. We are a Norwegian married/retired couple making our dream come true on this 2 year long sail voyage. We would like to share our experiences with you and will try to update this blog as often as possible.

Hoping the maintenance and repairs are coming along fine, and that this does not influence your upcoming departure from Falmouth, weather permitting off course, hi.
Yes all is done now Hans. We are departing Falmouth Sunday evening.
Crossing the channel to Brest. If condx are fine we will continue to Santander/Gijon arriving Wednesday/Thursday. If we decide to stop in Brest - Camaret-su-mer will be our port of call.
