Exactly two weeks to the date of our arrival and Sea Rose is ready for sailing, but not before a final cup of coffee.

Motoring out of the Port Olona entrance to the Bay of Biscay.

Looks who’s at the helm…

Looking back at the town of Les Sables d’Olonne

The main sail is up and we’re sailing…finally!

Our BVI Port of Registry flag is flying too.

After a 5 hour sail we arrived off the Ile de Re’, just in time to anchor for the night and enjoy our first sunset.
