nr02 Falmouth-Coruna (2007-07)
Falmouth june 2007
regatta of sail-fish cutter (old/new)
on my way to gweek
waiting for the tide to pass over the oyster beds
many hours in the mud of Helford river
Gweek, where Boanerges came from
Toby, builder of Boanerges
going upstream without engine
bringing the anchor up-stream
The old way, without engine
towing another 100m
time for a pint
History: 1981, departure for the pacific
2007, departure for the pacific maybe?
Leaving Gweek, another painfull departure
preparing for the gulf of biscay
Peter, afficionado, but often seasick
Gulf of Biscay
and waves
Peter, eating but not feeling well
audierne in brittany. not coruna
ski-tips, no more needed in my life
storm-jib ready. Lots of wind expected
on our way to coruna
Bf 7 on the head. Wet and cold
We are not making it to Coruna
Atlantic, the real work
at night less wind
prepared for sea-sickness
Gijon, not coruna. harbour is entrance changed !!
Peter leaves
Gijon (Spain), I am not supposed to be here
Starting organising things
my new life, new places, new people.
I do not know I will like this
removing salt
walking together at night, quite common here
as it was in 1421
Solo, with aquair-gen
Watch-keeping
again solo into the night. With pizza???

Unexpected entering a dark unknown coast, alone, scary
