Revisita España 2014 - Day 10

At sea.

Before the 3G signal faded last night I checked the booking in Poole. Actually the most expensive hotel of the entire holiday. A Holiday Inn in Poole. More expensive than both the Paradors!!

Still, very convenient for the harbour late at night and has breakfast included and free wifi.

The day started with Biscay playing to its famed bumpy self. The ship rolling in a decent swell. We got up late and set off for the restaurant for breakfast. Both of us are usually good sailors, but not now. At least Claire made it to breakfast! I returned to the cabin. I was very tom and dick!

After a few hours the good weather arrived and stayed with us for ten or eleven hours until we were only a few hours out of Poole.

Oh yes. After a whole holiday in the dry, it was drizzling....

Then bad news. An announcement that due to traffic in the harbour, we would be late docking by an hour. Instead it wasn't that bad and we eventually arrived about half an hour later.

We had some chat with the other bikers, a fourth had appeared after we loaded. A guy on a Tiger 955. 

The hotel was only a mile and a half away, but the drizzle made the roads very slippery. It was about 0030 when we arrived. The hotel has a canopy and I stopped just short. 

The guys that checked us in gave us an early breakfast and then time for bed. It was nice to be in a bed that wasn't moving up and down and side to side!!
