Greetings From The Azores!!!
Positions: 07/30/05, 39 28.312N, 31 43.230W, 0600 UTC 07/30/05, 39 22.900N, 31 09.900W, 1250 UTC; Anchor Porto das Lajes.
Greetings from the Azores!!! What a wonderful place - very mellow, charming and hot. Motored into the harbor at Porto das Lajes, Island of Flores at 12:45 pm after another night of very light SE winds. There are about 8 other boats on anchor. Took awhile to get the dinghy together but finally got to shore about 3:00 pm.
Did the walk all over the village to find customs and immigration - got immigration taken care of but still haven't found the person for customs. No one seems that concerned.
Found a cash machine so finally got some Euros and had dinner at Paula's.
Tomorrow there's a festival in the next village, supposedly a half hour walk away, that we want to attend.
We'll watch the weather reports and head for Horta in a few days. But for now we're grooving on the whole scene.
Don't know why more people don't experience this place.
