After sailing into Horta at the end of the last episode we were met by our good friend Barry (the old sea dog) on the dock and had a great couple of days hanging out with him before he set off on his final leg of his solo around the world passage, well done Barry! There's a full version on the interview we filmed with him here : https://youtu.be/8BBSyDIFHH8?si=Cvn86-Q8QrWri6EK We loved Horta and the Island of Faial, a big thanks to Alan and Lesley who showed us around and welcomed us to their home, the best thing about having a sailing channel is definitely these sorts of connections we make. We have a visit to the island of Pico in this episode and show a little bit of the next Island island we sail to, Sao Jorge, but there's more on that island in the next episode. LATEST ON BARRY (Thur afternoon) Barry hasn't made as good progress as he hoped in the last few days with light winds. He is now under 200nm from Plymouth but is worried that he he does not get wind he will get caught by the remnants of hurricane Erin which is now racing back across the North Atlantic. He has a contingency plan to make for safe harbour in France, but if the forecast is correct then he should be getting some south in the wind soon which should allow him to get in to Plymouth at the weekend. 🎵 Music licensed from Lickd.
