Ahoy adventurers! Today, we're exploring an extraordinary Atlantic jewel - Marina da Horta in the Azores, 750 miles west of Portugal. This isn't your typical marina. Thousands of colourful paintings cover it, each telling the story of a sailing journey across the Atlantic. It's a tradition as old as the marina, making every corner a canvas of maritime history. Stroll through Horta's enchanting streets, where traditional architecture meets volcanic beauty. The basalt mosaic sidewalks lead you to the legendary Peter's Café Sport - a sailors' sanctuary where ocean tales flow as freely as the local wine. Ready to explore this Atlantic paradise? You can chart your course to seatv.world for our complete visual guide to Horta 👉🏼 https://seatv.world/location/azores-portugal/docking/horta-marina-faial-island-azores Tell us below: would you cross the Atlantic to paint your boat's story on these famous walls?

The Cleat Hitch is a simple but effective way to secure your boat to the dock. Many people will argue that you should not use this method (preferring the OXO method) ad it can lock tight under heavy load. The team at bottom up boats agree to disagree with these critics as we firmly believe that there is a time and a place for everything.
