São Jorge Recap

After a week in Faial, we departed for São Jorge. As I mentioned, we had a lovely downwind sail during which we used our spinnaker—a sail specifically designed for light, downwind conditions. It was a beautiful day and a wonderful sail of just over 20 nautical miles.

We arrived in Velas, São Jorge, and decided to take a slip at the marina for a week due to predicted winds that would have made the anchorage quite unpleasant. It was tight getting into the marina, but Ken maneuvered us in like a champ.
