With true British understatement I can certainly say that Biscay was testing. You know the kind of sail that you remember as being great - AFTERWARDS!. It was good however to gull-wing into a Spanish marina.
Bring the boat over and go to Lake Champlain up in Vermont, ****ing beutiful up there, loads to do along the lake, bars off it, jumps and scenary etc.
I'm certainly a sea man - 360 degrees and I'm happy. However sailing is really something to do between bars
I've only been with boats in a lake Not a fan of the ocean water, no longer the top of the food chain!
