Well today is the day we leave the Azores and set a course for England. It may take 12 to 14 days before I can add an entry to the blog, although Sue will be updating our progress to Dick, who will pass on the information to a few well-chosen email addresses! The weather is still and sultry this morning, and I have been eaten alive by mozzies in the night, for some reason!

Yesterday Ju and I took the interisland ferry to Pico and Sao Jorge, taking a load of pictures which we will post in the gallery or on Facebook when we get the chance.

Meantime here is a photo of Tamar Swallow's picture on the harbour wall, which Sue has carefully painted and retouched over three days. This is the third time she has been here, our first time of course.

Lots to do this morning in preparation for the off, so I'd better report for duty.

Keep this bookmarked!
