Three Men in a Nauticat Boat 

A talk covering the trials and tribulations of a delivery trip of a 37ft sailing boat across the Bay of Biscay from Santander to Portsmouth in September 2020. It all began with a remark over a beer: “If you need any help bringing your boat back from Spain, give me a call.” Several months later I was in Santander staring at a boat that wasn’t ready to sail in the harbour, let alone cross Biscay.
