The Bay of Biscay has a reputation for storms, swell and challenging conditions. The alternative is an extensive cruise along the Atlantic Coasts of France and Spain. UK nationals are limited to remaining for 90 days within a rolling period of 180 days within Schengen territory. Thus, a direct crossing from the UK or France has its attractions. The day will consist of presentations from CA members who have all made at least one crossing and are still enjoying cruising and a presentation from Dr. Andrew Eccleston on accessing and using weather information.
This is the re-scheduled event, originally planned for 12 March but postponed.
