We ended up spending 10 days in Hendaye with 3 in the marina and 7 at anchor in the bay. We met some great local people including Jeanlouis and Freddie. Jeanlouis is a local surfboard shaper and Freddie a physio. They invited us to their house for dinner which was a great experience in a country property with views over the rural landscape and they also joined us for dinner on Hullabaloo. Jeanlouis shaped a new surfboard for Craig. We also had a visit from a friend, Tyrone, from Lorne who spent a few days with us. We visited Biarritz and San Sebastian by train for a day and then sailed to San Sebastian and anchored in the bay for a night. We were lucky enough to be there in the middle of an internatinal fireworks competition which was pretty spectactular when viewed from Hullabaloo. I forgot to mention the town of Fuenterrabia which is an old historic Spanish town across the river from Hendaye. We spent some time there as well. Tapas, Tapas and more Tapas - which we love! We are now in Guetaria, a small fishing village near San Sebastian. Great sunny weather every day. Fresh fish, walks, swimming off the boat and generally kicking back. We haven't sailed very far yet though so must get cracking....well maybe in a few days. New photos updated.
Cheers for now.
