Well Horta is even better than its reputation!

Team C2 had a lovely meal in a castle last night, followed by a long quiet sleep in a perfectly still boat ...........

Today is a washing, boat sorting, settling sort of day, and then we have three days of sightseeing before we head for Terceira.

Photo brief:

Exercises at sea.
Dawn view of Pico.
Calm or what.
