At last we have made it 20
and a half days from Bermuda, which seems to Chris to be a bit slow but the
boats we have already spoken to have all taken around the same time. We are even
hearing tale of dismastings and rescues!! The other boats in our wireless group
are still at sea and unfortunately the forecast is not good for them over the
next couple of days. We feel sorry for them but at the same time glad we are
safely tied up in harbour.
Faial look really
green and lush but I suppose anything would after nearly 3 weeks at sea. Once we
get ourselves sorted out we are looking foreward to exploring a bit of the
island and perhaps go whale watching as we didn't see any on our approach. We
have now a different set of noises to listen to no more sea rushing past the
hull or even crashing into it but we can hear birds and the chuch bells have
just chimed. Fortunately, unlike most of the U.K. traffic noise is low despite
the fact that the marina is right in the centre of the town. Time to go and get
the chores done, Oh a sailors work is never done!!
