270 miles between Porto Santo and Graciosa. 40 hours of navigation near 7 average nodes… exhilarating! First fish caught. It looks like a very large mackerel or a small tuna from which we draw the fillets of red flesh and put them in the fridge with lemon juice and spices. Arrival with first light…
Arrival at night at the anchorage of Porto Santo (opposite the beach) with a few boats moored.!!!The next day direction the marina in annex where we carry out the customs formalities…and there surprise… The officials explain to us that this mooring is paid and that it is better to stay at the marina which costs less!!!!Weird, it smells “The scam”…
Well, yes, Today we write on the blog! We don't even have the excuse of a bad internet connection or a broken computer. It's just that we savor every minute to the fullest and every night comes too quickly after a thousand activities.. Spat, juror… We want to do better!
Second day of well-deserved idleness. The afternoon is quiet. Deep blue sea, blue sky, pleasant wind that pushes us to the south. Damien reads and Nathalie gets a tan. But since our departure from Saint-Brieuc the 15 August, It hasn't always been so quiet…
Criteria: solid, stable, a dozen meters, draft not too large, equipped “Around the world”, can be operated with a reduced crew, well maintained and… not too expensive! An aluminum dinghy would be perfect… but does not meet the cost criterion. We are therefore looking for a polyester sailboat from the early years 90.
