Wow...we were escorted in by a flotilla of boats from the CNH (clube naval da Horta) from Castello Branco all the way in to Horta. As we came around the tip of the breakwater the horns started sounding. Once tied to the pier we were greeted by the Mayor (Presidente da Camara) Leandro amidst a group of "Chamarita Dancers" and traditional music over the loud speakers. I was handed bouquets of flowers by two young ladies and many kisses and hugs were exchanged. To say we were a bit overwhelmed would be an understatement! After enjoying this moment off to Peter's we went for a well deserved Gin & Tonic.
