We had some great sailing for the last 40 hours of We had some great sailing for the last 40 hours of the leg to Horta. Saw some 35kt gusts and some torrential rains! It was tiring, But we made some good time. Of course the cameras only come out after things settle down a bit…
Arriving in Horta after 9 days at sea. A perfect l Arriving in Horta after 9 days at sea. A perfect landfall. We checked in, took showers and made our way to Peter’s for dinner. The view is stunning. The town is so adorable. A well deserved FULL night of sleep begins! Good night.
The midday muster. At 11:45 we all gather for a mi The midday muster. At 11:45 we all gather for a midday muster, where we go over general announcements, navigation plans, weather reports, highlights and lowlights from the past 24 hrs, review our personal goals and share personal check-ins. Taking care of each other and understanding each crew members concerns, needs, and goals is paramount to a successful passage. Open lines of communication must be established and maintained throughout the entire passage, and for us, this is one way that helps accomplish that. Besides that…. We’re sailing! Great winds have established themselves. Although we’re still close hauled, we’re so happy to be sailing, and not motoring. This wind should last the entire way to Horta, which is now less than 300nm away.
Doing the passage time warp… hours, dates, names o Doing the passage time warp… hours, dates, names of days don’t matter much. Sunrise, sunset, meals, red lights, chores, azimuths, keep us on time.
Offshore en route to Azores. Today we hit warm wat Offshore en route to Azores. Today we hit warm waters and more tropical-esque air masses. Overcast skies between two weak systems. Wind finally filled in from the SE at 18kts for a few, then diminished. We shook a reef. We took on deck showers. Happy. Heidi @hydrovane steering us perfectly.
Stuck between a few hi pressure ridges, we’re taki Stuck between a few hi pressure ridges, we’re taking the wind when we get it, but making most of our miles under power. We picked up two extra diesel jugs before we left, just in case. We’re off the shelf now, no more fishing buoys, but plenty of marine mammal life today.
On my ship the ROCINANTE… making good time for Azo On my ship the ROCINANTE… making good time for Azores. Wind has been great the first 35 hours, but promises to diminish as two high pressure systems take center stage. Some motoring is in our future. But for now we savor the last few puffs of 12, 10, 8, 6 kts… as the seas subside and the seasickness turns to smiles. #azoresorbust
Busy day ahead of our departure for the Azores. Ri Busy day ahead of our departure for the Azores. Rig check and tricolor replacement aloft, plus the @hydrovane stubby vane installation!

En route to the French island of St Pierre. Fantas En route to the French island of St Pierre. Fantastic weather. Sunsights. Spinnakers. Pastries. Hikes. Our BFF @howlx53 whipping some lines too! Spirits are high, foods been off the charts. Pleasant sailing. Great cockpit chats. Lots of learning. The adventure continues. Currently on our way to Newfoundland.
