We had a great cabotage programme with some nice stopovers that allowed us to discover the landscapes and the atmosphere of the central islands and their small fishing ports, with some nice crossings and several encounters with dolphins. And all this in a very good crew atmosphere, largely favoured by the skipper and his companion
Very nice, very good teacher, with whom we shared the best routing to discover the targeted islands + 1 (the most charming) while taking advantage of the best wind and sailing conditions. Not to mention the boat and its wardrobe which allowed us to enjoy very good moments of maneuvering and sailing
The highlight of our cruise was our stopover on the island of Graciosa after a cool night's sailing, starting with a beautiful starry sky and the moon. Two nights in a charming fishing port, and a day at the top: a hike on the main volcano, a descent into the lush caldera and down a gully to an underground lake, magical! Then back down to the boat for a little "underwater hunting" anchorage and back to port to prepare and taste our skipper's catch.... a dream day!
