Ferry from Rosslare to Bilbao booked for today

I was due on the ferry this morning but looking at the sea from my lounge I don’t think it would have been a nice journey. Plus Bilbao has a travel restriction which would prevent me from leave the county even if I had arrived until at least the 9 of November.
A while back I deferred the sailing until 11 November (done over the phone with Brittany Ferries no hassle no extra charge) then on 6 October we went into lock down until early December at least so I moved the sailing to December again easy and no charge. But when level 5 ceases we are probably going to be back to level three preventing out of home county travel so might be putting back the sailing again.
Oddly enough everyone I have seen (from a safe distance) in the village are surprised that we are not traveling at present as they didn’t think the 5km restrictions would apply to going abroad.

Read in Portugal News today that Portugal are not closing their borders with Spain
.Plenty of motor homes driving around Algarve and the aires that i have passed in the last few weeks seem full.
There's a lockdown here from the 30th of October until 3rd November to cover holiday weekend and from today on masks must be worn everywhere including outside for the next 70 days

As well as quick seeing as France has imposed a lock down!!

Spain like many (far too many) countries are experiencing the “second wave” they are introducing extensive travel restrictions, curfews and other measures to try to get a grip on the situation. Are they winning? No not at present. Hence why I have postponed my crossing twice (so far). I am not a subscriber to the herd immunity theory and I’m not convinced a vaccine will be available and or effective any time soon. Is the answer locking ourselves up for 6 weeks, release, relapse and repeat? My gut feeling is that after Christmas our numbers will be highest we have seen to date, I hope I am wrong.
I also agree with your comment about what happens if abroad we are struck down with the virus and yes that is a huge concern.
I also fully appreciate that staying in my house, restricting contact and movement is safer for me and others than traveling on a ferry, driving around Spain and Portugal irrespective of how much or little contact I have with others. So for the mean time I will behave and do the unselfish thing and enjoy the ever changing View from my lounge window and plan for better times.

You could always park on a different pitch every few days, that would get you through at least a month.
