After an unofficial transit time of 9 Days / 20 Hours / 52 minutes, S/V Testarossa arrived safe and sound in Horta, Azores. Boom Broken, Water maker inop, mainsheet frayed, crew tired & needing showers, but all in all - no worse for the wear. Twas a good crossing.

And...uhh umm...as I have just been so eloquently reminded by the Captain: We were the first boat in!

We now resume normal programming...more updates via sepcor soon.

Take care all, and Cheers to all, from Team Testarossa in the Azores! See you all ashore!
