Anybody know why they appear to be heading toward the North end of Flores? The Port of Lajes Das Flores is on the South end of Flores. Maybe sea conditions are dictating that course?? Just curious, I've never been there by boat.

Based on the wind direction I'd image he would get the lee of the island for 10+ miles. Looks like 50 +/- miles to go for 1st land for, boy they will sleep like a baby when they stop that first time.

Last report was at 0908 Pacific time. . .that was three and a half hours ago and they were 36 nautical miles off West Coast of Flores. So at 7 kt. . they're real close now, well within sight of land!! 
PS: I see they kicked it up to over 8 kt. . .if they hold that speed they're even closer.

Wow...seeing that land must have been glorious! I wonder how their docking will go. Don't burn your lips kissing the Leaman valve cover!

No. . .we're all seeing the same. Updates are very sporadic at times. There is No rhyme or reason to the update schedule??
4 hours ahead. It's about 8 pm local time.
I guess he's just going to anchor and clear customs in the am.

Been watching and wonder if the port / marina south of fazenda (southeast corner) is his ultimate destination for this lap? You can see it on the delorme site in satellite view

From 9:30 est time this morning, I had told him good decision to anchor out tonight and make port in the am:
That's why Julie and I do so well together, I feel we never make a bad decision.
When I'm alone on the other hand, it's a whole different story.

IIRC this port is Ponta Delgada on San Miguel Is. They are anchored at Flores Is, something over 350 miles to the NW. Not sure what their plans are but I would want to linger a while, and probably call at most of the 9 Islands. Its a very nice part of the world.

Silence
Yes, there they are.....
I would say that the first few moments after securing the boat at anchorage, the sounds of silence were deafening.

Congratulations Dauntless, Richard and Julie! What an adventure! We all have followed you and been with you in a way. The anticipation for all of us was incredible waiting for you to set the anchor. Thanks so much for sharing your journey with us. We all kissed the Lehman with you guys!
