🚴‍♂️…Pico Alto…🚴‍♂️

Pico Alto at 587m is the highest summit on Santa Maria. Shall go 🚴‍♂️ again on a more clear sky.

🚴‍♂️…Praia Formosa…🚴‍♂️

Santa Maria seems to be a good 🚴‍♂️ island for me. Hardly slope more than 10% in primeval nature!

🚴‍♂️…Anjos – historical city…🚴‍♂️

BBQ on 36º 56’N & 25º 8’W

Nice BBQ with Petra and Jan from SY Sutje here in the marina Vila do Porto on Santa Maria, Azores.

🚴‍♂️…sniff tour Santa Maria…🚴‍♂️

Impressive Madeira 🙋‍♂️

🧐…wind pattern…☝️

Soon we can sail. I see white caps coming closer. These dead wind zones are huge and a kind of art.

☝️…Azores again…🧭

The weather window is still stable with a huge high pressure system near the Azores hardly moving, which shall give us some N to NNE winds. A bit stronger at the beginning and then hopefully enough to sail through to the target destination.

I had the pleasure yesterday to have coffee & cake with Gerlinde and Josef from SY Vitamine, a HR382 sailing under Austrian flag.

Fair winds…

Farewell sweet from Steiermark! Thank you!

☝️…Halyard replaced…✔️

Two halyards and a new main outhaul line.

With a bright smile 😊 the Mariniero was standing next to the boat at 11am and handed over the parcel from HR Parts. Thu to Mo – not bad.
It is already installed and I look closely at the weather forecast.

Fair winds…
