Horta to Velas

Hi everyone,

Our 22 nm passage from Horta on Faial island to Velas on Sao Jorge was another half sail & half motor trip.  We were in company with the OCC Macaronesia Cruise in Company fleet.

We had a very nice broad reach up the channel between Faial and Pico.  We even gybed N in an attempt to stay out of Pico's lee for a little longer.  But ultimately there was no escape and we motored for the final hour after losing steerage way.

Farewell Horta!

Twas a nice day passage.  Looking forward to exploring Sao Jorge!
