On our way to Plymouth

As we see Graciosa, the last of the Azores, glide away in the night.
Still 1200 miles and some 9 days to go, give or take. It will be a tricky passage with little wind.
You can still follow us. Check the mailasail position updates under “position”.
All is well aboard the Eskalope!

Thanx to Espen for a wonderful passage!

Somehow, these pictures disappeared. I’ll fix it in Plymouth.

Painting the dock in Horta!

As Dag takes off to Ponta Delgada.
Espen stays on until the 17th, and tomorrow Lone will arrive.
We’re all looking forward to that!
As for the remains of the day, cleaning and repairing is on the menu…

Hiking on the edge

What do you do after 17 days of sitting down?
Well, you take a hike around the edge of the Faial volcano crater, of course!
