Weather

Well while most of you on the mainland of Europe are suffering from snow, ice and cold, I am suffering from too much wind! And also cold - if you can count 12-14 degrees as cold! Probably not, considering that in many places it has been below 0 for some time. There has even been snow on the top of Pico! That does not usually arrive until Feb/March!

 There has been no whale watching from Faial since the 19th November, although we did not actually see any whales, we did find some Risso's dolphin.

I have had two rather exciting rides over to Sao Jorge which is about 20 miles from Horta. Conditions were not favorable for spotting! The first trip the waves (4m) were coming from the NW, so we had a nice ride over, but was not so pleasant on the way home and the second trip was the reverse - the wind and waves were from the E - so it should have been a pleasant trip home, except that we were driving in the dark and the waves kept trying to skew the boat around! I did manage to spot 2 dolphins in phosphorescence! I have no idea what type of dolphin they were, although the most likely suspects would be common dolphin - but I was unable to see anything but a couple of bodies and then they vanished! I am sure they were enjoying the waves more than we were!

Well I think it is now time for a cup of tea!
