We were blessed with positive current and calm seas , and entered the channel between Faial and Pico about 16:00. It was really anticlimactic. Beautiful day, moving effortlessly across the water, just drove right in. Between the breakwaters, there was about 45 feet of room on the reception dock, and I made a beautiful landing. We tied up, got our papers together, and stepped into the customs and immigration office just a few steps away. It was probably the most efficient check-in I have ever done. Very good, very friendly, very helpful. He even let me use his telephone, no, he called Wells Fargo in the USA, then handed me the telephone so I could release my charge cards. He assigned us a position on the headwall/breakwater. I hope you can see it on SPOT or DeLorme. Adnaan has gone off to the festival ashore. I will drink a little rum, and sleep well tonight.
