The Most Crowded Anchorage We’ve Ever Seen | Horta, Azores #atlanticcrossing #azores
After completing our Atlantic crossing from Bermuda to the Azores aboard our Kadey Krogen 55, with our dog, we finally arrive in the legendary sailing port of Horta on Faial Island. We expected a warm welcome, incredible scenery, and a chance to relax after nearly 2,500 miles at sea. What we didn’t expect was one of the busiest anchorages we’ve ever seen.
With boats packed into the harbor, finding a safe place to anchor became an adventure of its own. But once ashore, Horta quickly showed us why sailors from around the world fall in love with this place. Rolling green hills, dramatic cloud-covered landscapes, affordable food and wine, local cheeses, welcoming people, and the unique atmosphere that has made Horta a rite of passage for Atlantic cruisers.
In this episode of Unanchored Life, we explore Faial, experience the famous Azorean hospitality, including the famous Peter Sports Cafe, sample local food and wine, and discover why so many sailors arrive planning to stay a few days and end up staying much longer.
⛵ Join us as we continue our journey around the world aboard Moonfleet, our Kadey Krogen 55 expedition trawler, with our dog Gypsy.
