As you all know we made it to Horta, Faial Azores! Yay! This is a beautiful place, put it on your list of travel destinations! The island is diverse, the people helpful and friendly and it is not crowded. We are sad to leave.
Tomorrow we will set sail for Ponta Delgado, Sao Miguel another island in the Azores. It is a 150 mile sail and will take us between 24-30 hours. We will spend a minimum of Saturday, Sunday and Monday before we hopefully depart on Tuesday June 16. We need a radar repair and that is where we will meet up with the Garmin technicians.
On Tuesday we hope to start making our way to Lagos our first destination on Mainland Europe. This is a 6-7 day trip so get your trackers warmed up we will be on the go soon. The rally trackers will work throughout our journey to Lagos.
You are able to see the entire fleet by going to this link. http://www.worldcruising.com/arc_europe/event.aspx and choosing fleet viewer on the left hand side. We will be at least two days behind.
Another option is our Iridium GO tracker. This track can be found at http://forecast.predictwind.com/tracking/display/PixieDust. This tracker updates hourly.
I will continue to post short blog messages that will be posted to Facebook. If you happen to not be a Facebook type you may find anything we post here: http://pixiedustsails.blogspot.com
Through our Iridium Go we are able to receive email while underway. The address is pixiedust@myiridium.net
Thank you to everyone for your continued support. We are having a blast!
Love to all,
Dawn and Joe
