After 142 days at sea Return to Sender finally came ashore on Saturday near Gaztelugatxeko in the Basque Country on the North coast of Spain. (1/2)

OpenTransat last reported in from Dingle Bay (County Kerry, Ireland) on Jan 10th. She has probably now washed up on the northern side of the bay or Inch beach. Is anybody in the area able to look for her? The sail was lost a while ago and found in France it will just be the hull.
