Sounda and children returned to Quebec in early June, while I’m crossing the Atlantic with my brother and Carl. The Director of Maël school, as well as his teacher, generously agreed to host Maël for last month in the classroom, to his delight.

It is a must-see nautical tradition: all boats passing through Horta must leave their mark for the rest of travel is good omen.

Small ferry ride to get to Pico (half an hour). We will rent a car to explore the island during the day. First stop: visit to ancient Lava tunnels. (Gruta Das Torres) As one can ever make nice pictures in the caves, there are no pictures inside, but it was splendid! Sdgsdgsd and (somewhat cranky) Lohan […]

Two days before making our landfall in the Azores, I made a proposal to the crew… As our pace turned out to be fast enough to be ahead of our schedule, I proposed stopover in Flores before heading toward Horta. I had heard a lot of great things about this island from other captains and as it is almost on our […]
