A crew prepares for a Bay of Biscay crossing from Camaret, France, to Galicia, Spain, in October, a month noted for unstable weather and potential orca interactions.1:02 To mitigate the risk of orca-related rudder damage, the crew reviews official recommendations: stop the boat, lower sails, deactivate electronics, and remain hands-off the steering wheel.2:33 They also consider using a submerged metal pipe to create deterrent noise.3:30 The passage requires timing the departure from Camaret to coincide with favorable tidal currents at the Pointe du Ras, where flows can reach 6 knots.11:13 The crew coordinates with a small fleet of four other Scandinavian and French vessels, maintaining contact via VHF radio.4:40 During the transit, the crew manages seasickness with Stugeron pills while navigating 17–20 knot winds and 15–30 degree heeling.19:54 The passage involves a mix of motoring and close-hauled sailing, with the crew monitoring their position relative to the rest of the fleet as they head toward Muros, Spain.17:03
