The marina we are staying has no electricity nor water - but its free and brand new. Things may change today as 'officials' (men in suits) and the media will be here to inaugurate the marina. Perhaps, instead of a large pair of scissors cutting a ribbon there will be huge lever, which will start all the lights, water and electricity :-)

The boats have all their flags flying and it looks quite festive. The concrete, surrounding the marina has a number of paintings already made by the boaters and we will be adding ours in the next day or so.

We have spent the last few days relaxing, socializing and walking about the island. Ti Gitu, S'ours and Meredith are all here too - we were all in Bermuda together and left at different times - so upon arrival we have been having a lovely time with everyone.
Flores, means flowers in Portuguese - and the island is aptly named.
Beautiful blue hydrangeas, wild pink roses, orange and white lilies grow wild, along the roadsides, covering the stone walls and in the fields - making the scenery even more magical.

Great to see some pictures from your landfall. You will find Horta a bustling city in comparison with great marine supplies.
Do you have internet for a skype call
Just spent a couple of lovely lovely days with Dan and Wendy up in C'wood, and we were talking about you. So glad things have gone well and you're safely on to the next chapter of your travels.

I can't believe it's been so long since I checked your blog....It sounds beautiful....I'm so happy you've arrived! Can't wait to see your painting! How long will you stay there? Hopefully you can fix your sail there! Enjoy!!
