Alice in Red - Day 17 Land ahoy!!!

At last! After 17 days of sea, sea and more sea, we can finally see the steep, volcanic mass that is Faial Island. Thankfully, the plume of smoke coming from the top is just cloud :) We still have 30 miles to go and alas, The ARC celebrations will be starting without us, but hopefully, with a wing and a prayer, we can jump in a taxi and join everyone at Capelinhos, on the West of the island... fingers, toes and everything else crossed...
