Star Chaser and her happy crew sailed into Horta, Faial, in the island group of the Azores this morning after a successful and interesting passage from Bermuda. Two of her new crew had arrived early to welcome them in Horta. All crew were excited to see land and have their first beers and showers today. Tuesday and Wednesday will be spent cleaning the boat up, doing fresh provisioning, training the new crew and waving the old crew goodbye. The berths of three of the last crew will be taken over by four new enthusiastic sailors. The crew who are leaving are Jim, Megwen and Matt and the newcomers are Curt (USA), Jacques (CAN), Nicola (CAN/UK) and Jonny (UK). Boogie, the skipper, and Helen will continue their journey on to Palma.
Star Chaser will make another stop in Gibraltar for a crew change and then sail on to Palma. To read about the last and the coming passage, you can go HERE
