On Our Way to Horta, Azores

After leaving Germany, we sailed to England to pick up some new equipment for Enola, then headed to Dunkirk to avoid some rough weather entering the English Channel. From there, we've set sails for the Azores, but decided to stop in Camaret (Britanny) to study the development of Hurricane Gabrielle, which would have been difficult to avoid had it headed north-west of Spain. Now that it seems clear that its trajectory will follow a path towards south of Portugal, we will resume our passage within the next couple of days, aiming to arrive in Horta during the first week of October.
