Today, the forecasts indicate an arrival around February 21, but this may still change. We'll have to wait for my entry into the Bay of Biscay in order to make more accurate predictions. For now, I continue to climb north with smooth winds but they should start to get bigger in the afternoon. It is a stream linked to the arrival of a west depression and if all goes well, I could be able to use it and to make good progress over the next 1,000 miles or so. The fact that my downwind sails are unusable, it is always a handicap. I have over 1,100 miles to go downwind. The most important thing is to complete and return the boat in good condition.
