Leg 2
Not even 72 hours later, after doing repairs, laundry and a bit of touristing we were away for the longest leg of the trip, over to Horta, The Azores. This was a 15 day ordeal that really tested our patience with unfavourable winds (either head on or no wind at all), weather (winds reaching more than 48 knots and waves going up to 5 meters in height at one point) and equipment breaking (almost losing our radar, damaging sails.) It was not all bad though, we had multiple pods of dolphins coming up and surfing next to our boat and whales off in the distance. Eventually we reached Horta and grabbed a beer and a steak, which to this day is the best lunch I think I've ever had. We spent 3 days in Horta doing repairs, laundry and touristing (becoming a theme here) and looking at the weather to decide if we'd be able to leave for the final leg or if we'd have to leave the boat in Horta and fly home. Luckily, we got a short window of good winds and immediately restocked the boat and set off for the final leg. Lots of boats that were planning leaving the day after us got stuck for over a week.
