Didn't know it, but webshots doesn't limit the album size to 60, so I've
added 22 more pics to the album.

Horta is a transit point for boats coming in the main from northern Europe
and the Caribbean, the boats coming from the west don't want to be in area
during hurricane season. We saw a US flagged Hunter 460 at the gas dock,
most of the production boats were French, the boat tied up next to us was a
Beneteau. It was eye-opening to see the number of boats that aren't
considered by some to be blue-water capable, tied or rafted up at Horta.One
other thing, compared to the mainland the Azores are dirt cheap, the slip
was only 10 euro a night, electric and water included, food an drink also
fairly inexpensive.
