Arrived in Horta
 

We've made it to the Azores at last. 17 or 18 days with some days of
high winds and high seas. Got in last night and hit Pete's Sports Bar
for some well earned beer. We broke a few things along the way so we'll
be repairing sails, boom fittings, canvas stuff etc before heading
Eastward again to Lagos. Apart from cuts and bruises, all are well and
in good spirits.

Glad to hear that all is well. I've been watching the weather models
with some concern as those big low pressure systems were chasing you
across. It looks like the winds were from a favorable direction
however, mostly SW, which is always a good thing.

Well done. Carry on being safe. Anything you replace,
replace with slightly higher spec.

Local beer is called Sagres. It's ok and damn cheap compared to Bermuda
and Bahamas beer. I'll review it on my Beer Tour Of The World section
of the blog.

Hadn't thought of that, but it makes sense. And we are "Common Sense"
after all.
