The Last Supper


We're getting ready for tomorrow's sail, tidying up after three weeks more or less on land in The Azores. The rest of the population seems to be focused on football. The Espirito Santo fiesta starts this week-end, but it's the World Cup football match between Portugal and Angola that has got all the Azores-Portuguese out. Patriotic Portuguese red and green flag-colors flying on all the scarves. All the restaurants, not just sports-bars, are now outfitted with televisions.

Including at the cosy "Costa do Atlantico" where we eat our last supper here in the Azores, baccalão. Tomorrow it's boat-food again as we and "Sedna" start out on our ca.12 day sail together, east to Ireland.
