After more than a week in Horta we are all desperate to
get back to sea and progress to our last destination of Lagos in Portugal.
Day two in Horta Andy and I hired a couple of mopeds along with Des and Martin
on board Emilija. We toured the whole Island in torrential rain but the
crazyness of the idea kept us all in high spirits. What a bunch of
eejets.. The views of the clouds we were in were "misty". Andy went
home after a couple of days and took over 24 hours to get there due to the bad
weather in Horta. We Myself Jay and Pip spent the rest of the week
drinking recovering and repeating the process. This is why we are
desperate to leave.
Our intention was to leave at 6.00 am but the gale force
winds and visibility made us wait all day for the weather to abate. It
rains a lot here. However we are getting ready to leave at 10.00 pm
tonight (two hours time)and have an overnight sail to our next
destination. Several boats have already left and some others are leaving
tomorrow morning(monday) We are hoping to get a good view of the
waterfalls off Ilha Sao Jorge at around dawn. Visibility and timing
considered.
I shall endeavour to be a little more reliable with my
blogs from now on. We also have picked up an ARC official for tonights
sail Lyall.
