Crossing Santander-London in 10 days

A 10-day experience from Santander to London. Crossing the Bay of Biscay aboard a sailboat that already knows the way ... Pleasant company, an unforgettable experience, visiting ports such as Loctudy, Cowes, Dover, Saint Katharine Docks, next to the Tower of London ...

It is not essential to have experience to enjoy this unique journey, although there are routes of up to 48 hours that will be a challenge for novices. The seasoned navigator will put into practice all their knowledge to collaborate in the handling of the boat: maneuvers, guards, trim and change of sails, etc.

You sleep on board every night, especially if we decide to sail in the light of the summer moon.

Plan

Departure from Santander on Thursday morning, so the day before (Wednesday), in the afternoon, the boat is accessed to organize cabins, meet the crew and final adjustments. The first section, lasting 48 hours, will take us to the south of French Brittany; later to the north to prepare the crossing of the Channel. Once on the south English coast, we will stop at the ports that give us the best shelter, until we reach Ramsgate. There we will prepare the comeback of the Thames, with special attention to the tides and the numerous maritime and river traffic. Arrival in London is scheduled for Friday of the following week, where we will remain until the arrival of the new crew on Sunday, when we start the return.

The boat must be left on Saturday at noon, except if the return is also hired.

It has been an exceptional journey. The very intense ride with two-meter waves and messy. The boat is in perfect condition and Jesús, the skipper, is a true sailing professional. Also, a fascinating personality. On top of that, there has been a lot of luck with the crew. I don't see the time to repeat.

Daniel told me that he was a newcomer to the world of sailing. Taking his word for it, he has to recognize that he has an innate gift to continue enjoying this hobby for years. Humble, an excellent travel companion, he has our doors open whenever he wants.

The navigation with Jesús and Fran was perfect. They are very good patterns. They made me feel very comfortable and enjoy the journey on the Klaudia. I learned a lot from them, they took the time to teach me the basics of sailing and they treated us great. The Klaudia is a very spacious and beautiful boat. I will repeat without a doubt.
