Our stay in Horta was made extra special by the friendship and hospitality of Daniela and Miguel. Tour guide, chauffeur, restaurant conaisseur, executive assistant... Daniela, Thank you again !

Underway again and the last 3 days have been damp, bumpy, noisy, squally, and generally pretty miserable. This is why normal people avoid long passages ! We, on the other hand, are taking it all in our stride and surviving quite well.

The pic attached is of s/v Rosinante, our friends Mike and Matt from Austria, sailing past the island of Pico as we departed Horta.

We expect to arrive in Gibraltar in 7 days give or take, where we look forward to a quick trip to Morrisons (Sam is out of Marmite) and then on again to Palma.

Wishing you all the best,

Dave, Sam and Garrett
