Little Bea CG580 in Horta 



The slightly bigger sibling of the Setka stopped into Horta on his crossing from Halifax Canada to Portimao Portugal. We met Dan and spent an enjoyable time with him and Little Bea talking boats, building, what works, what doesnt and having a look at his great build, nice to compare size and get some ideas for what should be done and what not to do on Cagarro, including a strengthened transom and jib sheet lead idea





 While he was here he joined in on one of the Semana do Mar races, the singlehanded race, here are some pictures taken by my friend John.

 Once he departed Horta - it was interesting to chat with him and check his daily progress as he sailed from Horta to Portimao.
