We were just in the right place in Horta :-), to meet old acquaintances again or to get to know about new. Most sailors, who come back from the Caribbean before the start of hurricane season to Europe, a stop in the Azores. We were curious, We probably would meet here which our sailing friends in the next few days.

As a sailor to get to Horta on the island of Faial, is a visit to the famous “Peter's Café sport” mandatory. After our first tour on Saturday morning and the visit to the farmers market, the sailor pub for us was a “must have Lakes” Destination on our route.

Because no table was more free, We found two seats at the table of an older couple. Quickly you came into the conversation. The two Englishmen David and Ann of the SY RESTING GOOSE were far run around on the world's oceans and had much interesting to tell. It remained not only at a lunch, and we accepted the invitation on a cup of coffee on board the RESTING GOOSE you are welcome to. Was then in the end as it should be for an ordinary English invitation but tea drinking, He adapted very well to the Madeiran honey cake, which we had brought from the SUMMER.

The Board-bar was open from half-past four, because of conversation always still not had gone from us :-). Only after the sun sets behind the horizon had disappeared, were we on the way home. For the first time, we could enjoy the view of the Pico Vulkan this evening, who came behind a thick cloud layer shows. A really pleasant sight.

Ann and David sadly left the next morning Horta, but not without the buzzer to rotate a small farewell lap. On Terceira we're back but soon. Maybe even to a joint regatta on the RESTING GOOSE. Das wäre natürlich eine besondere Herausforderung 🙂

After arrive the boats of the North Atlantic round in the Azores. Are you for one or more seasons in the Caribbean on the way back in the European waters, in the North- or Baltic Sea or in the Mediterranean Sea. So we met SUUTJE on Sunday on the SY MAN, She was on the road with Paul and friends with tight schedule back in the Baltic Sea.

At lunch in the old town we had with greedy “Blackheads and whiteheads” to fight. Die Spatzen hier auf der Insel stehen wohl auf Fast Food 🙂

After a further stroll through the old town, It went shortly after Porto PIM, only a stone's throw away on the South side of the Bay is.

The crew of one SUUTJE despite the rush still found time for a nice night together in Peter's bar. There we met Frank from the SY TRALAFITI, who had spent several years in the Caribbean. Seine Internetseite werden wir noch ausgiebig studieren 🙂 Schon an dem einen Abend bekamen wir viele hilfreiche Tipps und genossen viele lustige Geschichten aus den Seglerwelt.
