Have you encountered rough seas while sailing the Bay of Biscay?

I'd like to know if you encountered rough seas on the Bay of Biscay.

Yes, the Bay of Biscay can be bad-tempered.

Can kick up any time of the year, but most likely in October / November, and Feb / March. But even then, it's docile far more times than it isn't.

 

Have sailed it a few times, by both cruise ships and ferries.

Never been unlucky with a cruise ship, one uncomfortable crossing by ferry.

Trust me - in such conditions a good big 'un is better than a good little 'un 🙂

 

Grief isn't just limited to the Bay of Biscay - the English Channel can cut up rough as well - usually same times of year as BoB.

 

As Dirty Harry would say, "Do you feel lucky, punk?" 😉

Just returned from Sky Princess it was very rough, 40- 60 mph winds and the waves were hitting the windows in the restaurants on the 6th floor. 

 

It was very rocky in the cabin and walking throughout the ship was difficult.
