20 days to Horta, 7 days to Vilamoura, wouldn't recommend keeping a boat

at
Vilamoura unless you like that very touristy sort of atmosphere. No

weather
to speak of, not much wind either, only 2 200 mile days, both in the

Gulf,
though a reasonable average of just a tick under 150 for the
Lauderdale-Horta leg, very low average for the Horta-Vilamoura leg. Will
post plenty of pics and as many details as I can muster when I get some
time.

You missed the Mills Race. Jazzy did very well.




Yeah, it was unfortunate, but couldn't plan the arrival. Didn't get into
Vilamoura til early on the 8th, even if I had tried to fly in early wouldn't
have gotten back til the 10th, one of the disadvantages of having family,
they wouldn't have been very appreciative if I'd left the following day to
do the Mills. I was at NCYC today and they didn't have the results posted.
Who won overall?
