Leaving Portsmouth, leaving Santander.

Leaving Portsmouth harbour, 20th December 2015.

Just as I was taking this photograph, the ship decided to leave the berth, thus blurring all the images. Isn't that just the way of things?

And then we had a gale force 8 in the Bay of Biscay. Not unusual weather for December of course.

Leaving Santander harbour 26th December 2015.

But Spain put on a show for us as we left Santander.  Perhaps it was feeling guilty about the weather on our outward journey.
