Cybercafé Day

...at HortaNet. And when I type these words I'm all caught up again. The whole 22 days of ocean passage, first jotted down in shaky almost undecipherable runes in my black, marbled Composition Book are now neatly typed, somewhat spell-checked, in Horta's quiet and tidy little cybercafé.

Our other activity is to search the painted pavements and seawalls in the old, North Marina, for a spot. Where will we paint our "Babette" sign, when everyone has painted everywhere before us!? Common practice is to paint over the oldest, now unreadable ones. So there's hope.
We've found old sailing friends' still readable marks. The "Merrimac" of Sandefjord, "Celina" of Egersund and the beautiful "Galyfreya" painting. St.John and Elsbeth, who searched for "the tree of life" on their world tour from Australia to the Orkneys, to Kinsarvik in Norway.

And then they sailed back again.
