The winds increase to force 7 from the North. White Malkin is proving her sea keeping qualities. Tea....what would we do without a cuppa tea...!

The weather eventually changes, and White Malkin is fine, dealing with the swells and occasional onboard breaker in the cockpit. A challenging sail by...wow...what a boat....so forgiving and so comforting...!

Sailing North is a must to ensure the North East winds don't bring windward sailing challenges. A seasoned yachtsman Russel Hawkins contacts me via a txt received on the Garmin In Reach Mini2. The weather is great in this episode, but gradually the winds increase and go more North; thankfully i am North enough to use the blast of wind to meet me.....!

The journey form the Azores back to the UK is progressing, but with light winds. the motor is doing the heavy lift and of course charging the batteries. Dolphins appear at regular stages; its as if they have a territory, saying hello and goodbye as you sail through there patch of sea.

Part 16 at the beginning is a rerun of leaving Terceira and the frustrations of immigration; but that's life....! The sailing is good with fair winds and a good speed. I am settling into what is a 9 day passage back to the Azores.

To depart the Azores is somewhat not so simple since Brexit. There 3 islands Non EU citizens can enter and leave from. St Miguel, Fial and Terceria. I only found that out when i booked out of St George, where I was told I needed to sail back to one of the islands that had immigration control, where I could then have my passport stamped out. Regrettably the immigration is a single individual, wh...

Time to depart Fial and sail to another Azore's island.. Sailing to St George / Velas. The sail included an added pleasure of my first whale sighting (see if you can spot the whale). Velas is such a tiny marina and the town is quaint.

This part of the adventure describes the anchorage and the famous Peter Café Sport. Café Sport is what seems the centre of activity from a yachting view, with all nationalities visiting the wonderful hospitality. Fial is beautiful, but Horta is the attraction and Café Sport is the focal point for many yachting folk.

Continuing my voyage from St Miguel to Fial / Horta. I explain the challenges of onshore arrivals and considering the seas on a weather shore, changing my decision to continue to Fial. I explain the AIS/Radar alarm which is technology helping keep watch, alerting you of targets within a radius of your position.

i set off from St Miguel to the island of Pico. The weather is fair, but during the night the wind increased from the South which made a landfall on the South side of Pico to dangerous due to the breaking waves on the shore, so continued my voyage to Fial / Horta.

Continuing my travel around St Miguel, with visiting the hot volcanic springs and a swim in the warm but rather cloudy pool.

A walk round Ponta Del Gardo shows the beautiful architecture. The shops were closed which gave an opportunity to chill and charge my batteries....! Hired a taxi for the day and shown some of the beauty of St Miguel, including tea plantations and a swim in a volcanic heated pool.

Well.....I have arrived in St Miguel / Ponta Del Gardo. Tired, but a sense of achievement, sailing 1200 miles solo.

    Dear Mike, Any chance that you could get a furry mike that reduces the wind noise? It is difficult to make out your wise words whilst you are at sea! Best, D.

      @@danielcarter5178 Hi Daniel, good news is I now have a microphone that will suppress wind noise. The not so good news is I have only just purchased it so there will be a few more videos with a bit of background noise; my apologies.

    Hi Mike, another great video, however the wind over the microphone made it very difficult to hear you. When we did the Arc in 2013 on a Moody46 we also had mostly downwind sailing with 35 knots of apparent wind. The wind vane had cords operating the the wheel across the cockpit & seemed to cope very well for the 22 days across the Atlantic. We had 4 reefs in the main & a very small amount of Genoa poled out. We turned the engine on to boost the batteries in the evening for washing up & also so that we had enough battery for the navigation lights. Cheers.

    I thought to do some videos like this, walking round the dock and places I visit- haven’t yet but you’ve inspired me to try it - it’s pretty interesting from the audience’s point of view. Thx!

      Glad you enjoyed it. Should you get the opportunity to visit Peters Cafe Sport in Horta, you will be amaised at the worlds yachting folk anchoring off the town after an Ocean passage; I found it inspiring
