São Jorge-Like A Dragon In The Ocean - Ep. 92 Thula Sailing

Sao Jorge sticks out like a dragon's back or an enourmous stone ship eternally anchored in the blue expanses of the Atlantic being one of the youngest volcanic islands of the Azores with its estimated 550 000 years of age. Lying within the sight of Pico and Faial, we enjoy amazing sights with crystal clear sunny skies, Thula being safely tied up in the small marina of Velas. Our stops lead us to paths that lead along Sao Jorge's adventurous cliffs with their many waterfalls down to the Fajãs, the flat coastal plains. The island of cheese is so surprisingly beautiful - a little hidden gem being inhabited by 30 - 35.000 cows but only around 10.000 inhabitants. The flora of the highland pastures ensures that the 'produced' milk is among the best in the world - the island cheese a delicacy! Last but not least hop on board Maja, a Najad 49. What a different sailing experience adding 16 foot and a few tons extra to cross the choppy sea back to Faial.
