Old Town Quebec

I wake up and walk into old Quebec City, not so much for the historical aspect but actually for a McDonalds.   Thde buildings are impressive and the city streets are bustling, with tourists and buskers.

Before lunch I get a haircut; not sure how good it is, it is short but it seems it may have been styled with a parting in mind.

In the evening I ca few local check out a few local restaurants and get an early night.

Bay of Biscay - Prison Boat Bluejay Conclusion

 Draft 1 Conclusion Was it worth it? Not really sure! Did I learn anything? Not really (well that is with regards sailing anyway, which is a shame as I have a lot to learn). However the skip didn’t really make an atmosphere conducive to learning, and didn’t allow us to make our own decisions and mistakes.  We should have been allowed to skipper the boat / sail the boat at some time during the second half. We should have been allowed to pass the instructions to our fellow crew members thus really could have been done on our rostered navigation days and thus really would have allowed us to learn and gain confidence, instead all we did was follow orders and be quietly barked at, admonished when we were unable to follow them either immediately or quickly enough or due to inclement weather. I cannot be sure but I genuinely believe that this is why one original crew member left on arrival at Gijón (he had skipped to watch shifts after being admonished on his last watch), and I have a lot of

Bay of Biscay - 2

 Please see a Friday Breakfast done (bacon - hooray!) we start a new rota, myself and Linda carry out the IWOBBLED check on the engine.   Set sail at around 12:30 having completed the three S’s We sail to Artedo where we hone are incredible sailing skills.  We anchor in Artedo, a pretty little cove with an ugly two tier road bridge overhead.  “Dinner” is again served - not too bad some kind of vegetarian stew with white rice.  Saturday Breakfast of Sugar Puffs and then straight off to Ribadeo at 10:30. Another fine day of sailing had by the now well oiled crew! Today Lind and myself are the boats Chefs.    We amaze the crew with a comfort food lunch of Ham and Cheese Toasties - a truly superb dish!   After a reasonable adventurous sail we dock in Ribadeo where Linda and myself again stun everyone with a fabulous cat food stew (Tuna, pasta and the usual tomato source tin). So good that there is a rush for seconds before a birthday cake is brought out for the Helena, the birthday girl.
