Azores I

Here's the Azores....a little behind. This was last June on a crossing with the Kismet. We had bad weather, so we got to pull in here for a night. Got the boat cleaned up and we had an afternoon to terrorize the island on scooters. An absolutely amazing place with beautiful scenery. I'll let my pictures speak for the rest. I'm now back in TX for the holidays and will be heading back out to the open waters in January. Merry Christmas!

Making sure we are going to land on the right continent

The Port of Horta is very famous because of this wall. Sailors arrive here and paint their ship's name here. There is a lot of history in this port...it's the first port after crossing the Atlantic. Pics of us later painting our name.

The Azores often see massive seas and these boats are designed to fish the waters.
