...and off again

Well, broken bit fixed, topped up the food, and we should be on our way again Sunday morning. As before, heading north at first before turning east or north east towards Spain/France/UK depending on weather.
Ponta Delgada is very nice, an old town with many churches. This weekend is the festival of Espiritu Sancto, and there was a parade on the streets mostly consisting of men dressed in red singing psalms and playing guitars and violins; ox-drawn wooden carts squeaking extremely loudly; women in red cloth-topped wooden clogs dancing sedately; and wine, sweet bread, sausage and bean stew and sardines were been given out. We could linger, but are getting very itchy feet now.
As usual, will blog from sea every 3 days; next landfall anything from 9 days to 2 weeks or more.
