Well sort of! First we splashed Pratique in May. New standing rigging and new electric flush toilet! Then set off for the Azores! Except not on Pratique. I joined sister ship Zephyr as crew to help get her most of the way across the Atlantic. An epic trip to the Azores from Newport in 9 1/2 days. Some pics:

A sincere thanks to Bob Mann who made this trip happen! Zephyr is now in Ireland, but for me the Newport to Azores passage will be remembered as one of the best!
