An old whaling boat used for racing now

Paul back from diving in deep volcanic drop offOur beach

Glad our anchor is smaller! Most amazing steel buoy

At a anchor in Horta, looking over to Pico

From our anchorage looking over to Horta. The big cat in the front is Aurora with a lovely bunch of sailors we had already met in Velas, they were on their way to the UK, when one engine broke and are now back in Horta for repairs!
