That's a shame. But isn't it the way of things!

When we crossed from Martha's Vineyard, we ended up doing a lot of motoring. And when we met up with other trans-Atlantics in Flores, it transpired that out of all of us, we had done the least! The Gulf Stream had been against us for part of the way as well. From what we heard, the crossing was pretty dire. We met a Frenchman who had sailed single-handed from St Martins to Flores and it had taken him 70 days!! The poor bloke was desperate to get ashore to call his family - my mother and I managed to have a vague conversation with him, as he didn't speak any English and all of our French had miraculously disappeared on us.

I'm sure you'll get out to the Azores at some point, even it's by more 'conventional' means (like a plane!).
