We are back home after our travels to Spain. We had a wonderful trip sailing and tasting tapas and local wines along the northern coast of Spain as far as the city of Gijon. For the most part the weather was very nice although we had cloudy weather once we got to the area around Gijon.
We took our time and did not get nearly as far as we thought we would get, Portgual. We had to be back at Les Raymonds for repair of a wall on our barn so after a month away, we headed back from the Spanish town of Hondaribia to Port Medoc, a sail that was about 33 hours. Wind and waves were not good and we slogged our way north to be able to be home by June 16th. Calypso, shown here in her perennial state of drooling, really suffered on the way back.
When we got home, we found our telephone pole had been struck by lightning and we had no phone or internet. It took France Telecom 11 days and 3 trips to repair it. We had service for 2 days when the pumper truck delivering cement for our barn repair cut the line so once again no service for 4 more days. All but our TV antenna is operational now, so I will be able to post highlights from our trip until we leave for the US next week.
