Nightsong

Dear Blog
Thought I would put a couple more pics on the blog
before I set off again
The first shows Nightsong with her keel dangling
below her in the Travelift at the Old Naval Dockyard, Bermuda as a result of the
keel rope breaking in the Tobago Cays. Like this she draws 12ft!!
The second my attempt to copy the Perrings on the
quayside at Horta (same tradition as at Porto Santo).
In the background is the 8000ft mountain of Pico on
the island of the same name about 5 miles from Horta, Faial. Very similar to El
Teide on Tenerife in the Canaries - dominates the Azores islands just the
same.
Some thoughts about our crossing from Bermuda - the
storm of 28th May 2010 about 400 miles west of the Azores certainly took its
toll of yachts:
Some advantage on being overweight I guess.
Nightsong was fine and we felt comfortable
Still have to mend the engine (waiting for diver)
and the Duogen before I set off
