Where is Doris?...

Monday 15 June 2009

Horta Azores (2)

Well it’s now the 15th of June and I have been here too long (13 days) and really need to get Doris back to Hamble point for selling. Not much to tell you really...

At least the sun is shining again lately, food, coffee and beers are cheap and I have had some fun (read drunken nights) company (albeit briefly) with the crew of SunBird. Unfortunately, Ben & Medi, the 2 Andy’s, Steve the Skipper and Amanda all set sail on Saturday morning at short notice, bound for Palma in the Med possibly via Morocco depending on the winds. I helped them pack their shopping before getting out of their way.

Medi doing what she likes best!

I have been trying to salvage the ‘Doris’ painting, after initial attempts were smudged by both rain (paint that refused to dry) and people climbing over it. At least I have made ‘my mark’ so to speak among friends (Euge & Timshel) and thanks to Kat it’s a damn sight better that I would have managed alone.

Its a 'work in progress' depending on boredom!

Our Danish friends of BlueOcean.

Adrian & Leonor of Bacan enroute to Brighton as we speak.

Still no word from Otahi (she is not actually overdue), but according to calculations she was just over 1200nm away the day I arrived which means based on a rough average of 100nm per day she should arrive any time soon. It’s a shame that Ben & Medi couldn’t also be here to welcome her in and have the ‘crew’ back together again. I will update as soon as she arrives!

Lastly, for those who may be interested (or amazed!), Marcus’ (little Marcus from Sweden) tiny Dory which he sold in English Harbour before flying home has arrived here in Horta.

There’s some brave (or stupid) people out there!

Hi Boo!

Just like to comment on "DORY". This is an Albin Vega 27 and it is realy an amacing boat. Have a look at this video at youtube.com. In short: A cracy Norwegian called Jarle Andøy took his Albin Vega 27 to Antartic from Norway. On his way back he sailed into a storm and did a 360 degree turnaround with the boat... The rigg was still up, and he carried on after that, but later on the same trip, in calm weather the boat suddenly took lots of water and sank. He bought another Albin Vega 27 and again from Norway he went fare north and into the channels of Russia... and back to Norway via the Baltic sea. He has also done the NorthWest passage (not in a Vega, but anyway). Some people are just made of something else...

Hi Bjoris - A fellow Hanse owner. Welcome to the Blog.

That is certainly some voyage in a small boat. Crazy Scandinavians (I have met a few on my travels)! I will check out the link thanks.

Marcus told us: When Dory was sold the rudder was almost hanging off with 90 degrees of free play in the tiller and there was some work to do - lets hope it gone done!

I assume '27' is 27ft length and have just realised this is 1ft longer than the next boat I am considering to buy! I have future dreams of the Falkland Islands, Cape Horn, Antarctica back to the Horn and then West (the wrong way)into the Pacific. Dreams are dangerous!

Like I said either Brave or Stupid .. maybe both!
