Apr 20 PONTA DELGADA

Weather report for the Azores 

Our Captain channeling Joseph Beuys as he creates his "story time" story board, explaining the equation for calculating wind pressure on sails (to a dead hare -- that would be John) (or a live coyote -- that would be Stephen)

John in heaven (or at least as close as he's gonna get) -- the altar piece from the 16th century Jesuit cathedral 

Sergeant Peppers Drum Majorettes

The Conga line of Bongo Boys

the Gato del Gado ain't too impressed by the band

the Gato is much more impressed by Sergeant Shoelaces -- a fashion which has now swept the ship, with all mates sailors and guests all tied up in knots

John has yet to join the shoelace bridgade but is keen to show off his new chapeau (a bit heavy for summer wear)

Reflections on a disaster (2 points for the first to spot the 2nd John)

the catacombs of the fort 

leaving punto del gado (note the foreground instrument panels)

Arriving at dawn in Punto (sorry things are out of order, but we know you'll cope... says stephen)

more of same see above

sails going up!

more sails going up! 29 out of 42 were used all day today -- very rock and roll with much swelling from left overs of hurricane in north sea -- dishes were smashing -- drama!

Stephen models his olympian war paint -- he's happy to report blue team won 2 out of 3 (meanwhile....John was hiding below....

...making the Blue Team mascot (which scared the crap out of towel artiste extraordinaire Diana) 

Open caption competition! (send entries to ...)

Diana's portrait to Freud

Our first siting of a whale! (named Moby Towel, or Terry Dick)

What is this? Please add caption! (more points!)

Awwwww! A koala! 

Best friends forever! John's Gap Boxers response to Diana's brilliant lobster -- below...
