We had a nice run into Ponta Delgada — arrived here at about 1:30am after a dark and stormy night of it. After connecting to electricity and water we promptly raided ship’s stores, whisky and gin primarily, and a few hours of good conversation ensued. Sailors do tend al to roll ashore upon hititng the shore, and we were no exception, except that we have not actually yet been ashore. It was too late at night, so we just had to make do, and we did, for quite some time.

The wind is howling, and the rain is now also pelting down, so it feels like a recent English summer. But tomorrow is another day, and we are looking forward to a bit of exploring town/island before flights out over the next day or two.
