Fourth Azore Island: São Miguel

A windy, blistery welcome to São Miguel Island. Clouds hang heavy over the black cliffs. A narrow green strip between clouds and cliff, the same crazy quilt of pastures fenced in by blue hortensia hedges. The occational white-washed, red-tiled village. We're definitly still in The Azores.
Both boats arrive at the fuel dock behind the long sea-wall in Punta Delgada. "Babette" tied up outside of "Sedna". By 10am we're side by side on the pontoon. Let the winds whistle in the masts, we're attached to land!

Showers, rest and a nice dinner with "Sedna" and its captain, Svein Hugo's father, Hugo. He's visiting here in The Azores for a week.
