With Tony Soares in Ponta Delgada



Getting ready for Race 1 of the Atlantis Cup from Santa Maria to Ponta Delgada. We've had a lovely few days in Santa Maria...complete with lots of good food....some boat prep....a few practice sessions...and  even a bull fight and a pig roast!

In Tereceira

On the Island of Terceira today. We arrived at 2:30am after sailing 94 miles from Ponta Delgada. Nice downwind ride. We had a really nice time in Ponta Delgada with the Farias Family. Also met up with Tony Soares from Inner Bay who gave us a personalized tour of the city. We picked up two more crew members in Ponta Delgada (Helio and Sylvia). They're participating in the regatta and there boat developed a leak so they were not going to go beyond Ponta Delgada. We inviting them to hitch a ride with us to Terceira so here they are.
