Arrived in Azores

Took us two weeks from Bermuda...first stayed south to avoid the worst of a low pressure system (big waves/wind) and then went north to get out of a low pressure system (no wind). Ended with about 40 gallons of fuel, 50 gallons water, but still plenty of flour for bread, canned tuna, black beans and rice. Appetizing, eh? More photos to follow tomorrow!

first sight of land in 2 weeks...break out the lollypops!

I’m happy to hear that ya’ll are safely making your way across the Atlantic. There’s NO wind here in the Chesapeake, so just as good that you’re heading to Europe! Stay safe, and keep posting about the adventure… looking forward to seeing more pics!

Having spent 10 years in DC, we moved onto the boat in June 2012, with the intent of sailing across the Atlantic to the Mediterranean for a year. As of June 2013, we've sailed from the U.S. (Annapolis, Maryland) to Bermuda, then to the Azores, to Lisbon and down the Atlantic coast of Portugal and Spain, through the Straits of Gibraltar, along the southern coast of Spain (with a quick trip to Morocco) to Ibiza, then Sicily, through the Corinth Canal and Greek islands, winter in Turkey, a few weeks in Israel, with a side trip to Egypt. After a month in the Adriatic in spring, we all sailed to the Azores, where mom, cat and kids left by airplane, leaving John and crew to bring the boat back home to the Chesapeake.
