Today Friday 24 July we leave Horta and head for
Penzance.
Yesterday we stocked food and water and as we go we
will fill the diesel. After which Flamingo Lady will head
north clear of the islands , find some wind and then 050 ish to
home. The weather looks ok with west or southwest winds so it should be a
reach. There is a depression but this will be to the north of us so we should
not get anything unpleasant, although the seas may have built up.
Yesterday afternoon Andy Petty arrived on
Jemima Nicholas (photo attached), so we had
a good evening catching up and discussing our passages to the Azores.
This morning its breakfast then tidy the boat for
sea, leeboards in and bunks setup for sea, and get things like the
grab-bag by the table in its easy to reach place, Waterproofs
and clothes where they can be found quickly and and the charts ready etc.
A casual departure as there is no deadline or tide
or tidal gate to beat.
