Spinnaker fishing on the final stage to Toulon, 23-25 October

 The final stage from Menorca to Toulon was 215 nautical miles. The wind was as forecasted, astern from start to end, in the 6-8 m/s (12-15 knots). We used our "code 0" rather than the spinnaker for ease of gybing at night from one tack to the other, as required.

We had planed for a 40+ hours ride. But this was without counting on the hazards of the sea...
