Horta, Azores, June 2005

These guys asked for help.

They had no engine, very little wind, one sail, low batteries, and a water leak.

We broke open at bottle of Coke at first sight of land.

Land Ho!

A VOR at the top of the hill.

Portuguese Warship Foxtrot 4-7-7 came to help. They were pretty nice.

Horta!

Old artillery?

The third guy is one we towed in. They were really happy to have a ride.

This flying fish was in the dinghy when we arrived at Horta.

There was a lot of rope around both props when we got there. It was COLD, too! Water temp 64F.

Laundry transport.

Laundrist.

Sea Urchins

This is the same boat that passed us a couple of days earlier. It left Horta shortly after we arrived.

These guys are REAL sailors.
