We arrived in Horta, Azores on Thursday and have been busy learning to sleep for more than 3 hours at a time, doing boat upgrades (new transformer for European power), some sightseeing and welcoming my sister Laurie aboard for the next 2 weeks. So, here are a few photos from the last leg. It had a bit of everything, wind, calm, rain, sun, dolphins and whales. More to follow.

Spinnaker in all her glory. The sail proved to be both wonderful and a pain in the butt.

It was so good to see your pictures. Yea, Laurie, you made it. Have a great trip with “the manly men”.
I am predicting that this leg will be a good one. Happy adventures everyone!
Love to you all,
Me, Mom, Ginger (fill in the blank)
Congratulations, Dan on reaching the Azores. The photos are fantastic as well. Soon the calm, sunny shores of the Mediterranean will surround you and you will be joined by your family!
Well done!!! I’m very excited for you all and am thrilled that Laurie will be able to join you for the next leg. Bon Voyage!
Wow! Gorgeous photos. And excited for Laurie too. Have a great trip all!
Wow! Those are great photos! I love the flying fish, they are awesome! Keep on sailing!
Hi, I’m Laurie’s friend from CO Academy. Katie and my daughter, Jourdan are best friends. Glad to be able to see where you guys are at! Safe travels!!!
