Just to fill in the story where I left it at Royan. The batteries have now been sorted ! We now have two new engine batteries which have been working fine with all the rest of the latest electrical stuff. This means that 'Piano' is happy and Malcolm is too !
Reitpiet came into Royan on the Tuesday and called by for a chat, John & Bill have been up the Gironde sightseeing lucky them with time to take things easy. We decided to have a couple of hours on the beach as a compromise. Wednesday Marylin & Stephen Fillery came to lunch (while the electrician was here) and we had a truly memorable time chewing over the last 5 years and all the memories from the Challenge.
Thursday we set sail for La Coruna Spain. The weather out of Royan was beautiful and as usual we cracked on at 6 knots reefing at dusk just in case it increased. We didn't have to motor until we arrived, well by now it was 0300 and a decent nights kip loomed...
