Wrington Web Archive AZAB 2003 Post script 2

Things missed over the 3 weeks: Marian; a walk; tennis; a drive in my Morgan Most asked question from people who sail: "Why did you do it in a Southery 100 ?" Answer: "It's the only boat I have"

High points: Wrington friends' send-off

Ponta Delgada yacht club - our reception !

Whales, dolphins, turtles, &c

The trip, the memories, the feeling of achievement

Winning our class Low points:

Tacking up and down the top of the Bay of Biscay, not going anywhere

Arriving at the Azores at 2am, then taking 19 hours to travel 15 miles to the port of Ponta Delgada

Cost: I don't want to think about it

Would I do it again ?: Maybe not the AZAB, but I will want to do a longer trip in the future
