The Azores!!
Well we made it across the Atlantic for a second time. Europe greeted us with grey skies, rain, freezing cold temperatures, and (strangely) mosquitos. Having put anchor down at 00.30 and crawled into bed for my first night of unbroken, still sleep, I heard that familiar whining, but was too exhausted to do anything about it so comforted myself with the thought that I was wearing so many thermals...

Well it was more 20 knots all the way except for the last day and mainly out of the east. There were really big seas and the wind was in front of beam all the way. This made for a very rough...
