23-10-12 - Lord Nelson STW1

Following a night with the engines on as there was no wind and what little there was, was in the wrong direction, James has written the following. As we sailed around the north French cost off Brest and into the bay of Biscay, we saw lots of dolphin’s swimming past the side of the ship. This afternoon we had to make a stop to set the staysail. I James Whale was on the helm, when we halted to a stop and was asked to go hard to port and we drifted for around 1 hour. Now we are heading through the Bay of Biscay and soon it will get very warm.
