All cleared in with the authorities. Ron Seiler is on the boat after a long flight from Detroit via Lisbon. We did laundry and talked to a number of fellow cruisers. Checked out the famous Peter’s Bar here this evening. And found the mass schedule for to-morrow. Below are a few pictures of the passage, as posted earlier, I plan do a slide show album for the trip from Beaufort N.C. to Holland and will have better resolution photos than this media allows me. The Portuguese Man of War is such an unique creature. I never got tired of searching the surface for their bright colors. There wil be more in the slide show. It’s Sunday morning, in the mean time.
You might recall my short sense of revenge on June 30, leaving Bermuda with the 41 footer, who I managed to pass, after what appeared to be a bit snide comment at the fuel dock. But in the end with his enormous spinaker hoisted did a horizon job on me. I figured they’d be long gone from the Azores by now. Guess what? And this will give Herb Hilgenberg also a sense of satisfaction. They arrived here yesterday in the late afternoon… I asked him if he had listened to Herb. No, they had used Chris Parker instead and gotten stuck in a couple windless areas at a higher latitudes….
