mmmmm. not for SWMBO's eyes, if one is planning to cross the bay !!

Stephen, it would help if you could put the playing time somewhere in the caption, so viewers know how long the clip is expected to last.

Awesome, thanks.

Many thanks for that intro.

It's now been forwarded to a couple of sailing mates - one in Massachusetts and another presently halfway to the USA.....

....What they're missing!

Excellent stuff. The yacht hitting the wreck in no 26 was something else

 

[westernsailor]

Again, thank you. Some fabalous clips here.

Fairly nasty, but it's funny how Biscay has such a bad reputation (and I been across it many times in all sorts of weather) and people really fear it but will readily go out into the North Sea when that stretch of water can be even worse...

Great vid's, but the caption's a bit misleading. While the boats may have seen 70 kts at some point, the wind in the video can't be more than 40 kts tops. One - the helo's still in the air, two - crew on deck forward stowing the sail, and three - spindrift is all wrong. Very impressive nonetheless.
