Jim and Barbra,
so i wasn´t the only one to go slow. Wilem (Noah) was in Horta a week ago and he had been to Barbados and 2 other Caribean Islands then crossed to the Azores all in about 50 days. He has gone back to Holland. Any news of Jean, I had an Email from Harry saying she was OK but boat wrecked at Acapulco.The Azores are very pleasant and some good walking and sailing, but I would sooner be in Trinidad though it may be a bit warm?? Good luck and take your time. Todd is still in Indonesia.

Hey Tony.  Saw you're last message and that you'd arrived in the Azores.  Glad to have that crossing in your past, eh?  From St. Helena to Tobago took us 43 days.  Lot's of delicious fish though.  Now in Trinidad on the hard but will splash and leave soon for Venezuela.  Keep in Touch.  Jim and Barb  KG6NNP (at) winlink.org

To All,

Have moved to the island of Graciosa 45 miles north of Horta.
Its a small island but very tidy, very like Crrnwall but with volcanoes.
Will write up Faial and Pico in the next day or two.

Hi Tony,

Photos should be working okay, try one and use the Email Webmaster link at the bottom to let me know what happens.

Jamie,
Had problems deleating incorrect co-ordinates.
Have put the Azores back on but there is still a waypoint between Walvis Bay Namibia (22.955 S 14.467 E), and St. Helena (15.917 S 5.717 W) which should not be there.
All the rest is fine if only I could get some of the hundreds of photos on.

Hi Tony,  Hope you like the improvements to the site.  I've changed the last few sets of co-ordinates you posted, as you were a few (hundred) miles out!  Great to see how far you've got, your reports are fascinating.

To All,
Have finnaly made it to Horta in the Azores after 42 days at sea. I will put my log on the site in the next couple of days.
James,
The winds were unbeleavably unreasonable, but I did kill a large white bird with a black beak (like a Frigate birds beak) that pounced on my trailing lure. So may be it was the curse of the ancient mariner struck again.

Hey Tony - Fair winds to the Azores.  Been living through your passages while stuck here in Graduate School.  Looking forward to your news in about 25 - 30 days.

Miss Swan,
Sorry I was wrongly advised, will send a card from Asencion, Have a great weeding day.
Tony
