Passage from La Coruῆa, Espaῆa to Brest, France through the Dreaded Bay of Biscay

Hola,
Before I write about La Coruña, which is an exceedingly charming place! I want to just share some of the bright spots or our passage. They were few and far between, but they were there. I definitely think some higher pow…
