Arrived Vila da Velas

Arrived at 1830 after a lovely sail from Horta and what a contrast. The friendliest, most helpful and most efficient marina yet. Check in took 5 minutes. Our now friends, Chris and Lorraine, the previous owners of Arctic Smoke (but one) on the return leg of their circumnavigation, were there to meet us and we spent a most enjoyable evening in a very friendly restaurant.
