Time goes really fast when you are enjoying it! Now we have already been at the Azores for three weeks and it is soon time to continue our sailing further east to the Mediterranean.


The Azores islands are very beautiful place, both over water as well as under the surface. Here I feel like I could stop the time and just continue to get amazed of the beautiful surroundings.





Under water there is plenty of life in all kind of shapes and colours...







Diving at Formigas is amazing! Formigas is a small rocky island about 50 nautical miles southeast of Ponta Delgada. To get the possibility of diving here we really need good weather...




Under the surface we get amazed of the rich under water life... Here we have lots of great film objects! :)













After three weeks in the Azores it is now time for us to sail to the Mediterranean. Wednesday the 27th of July we are leaving the harbour of Ponta Delgada and almost 800 nautical miles later we will arrive to the mainland of Portugal. With the wind in our sails we are now looking forward to more adventures and new experiences!

The Azores

.

Ponta Delgada (Sao Miguel), Azores, 18/7-2011

N37°44.315´
W025° 39.914´

The Azores - a group of nine volcanic islands, 700 nautical miles west of Lisbon. Here you find green wild surroundings, high mountains, volcanic lakes, waterfalls and of course a great under water life!







At the moment we have spent our time in Sao Miguel island. Here we have had quite a lot of work on our boat, but we have also spent some of our time in the beautiful surroundings... Hot springs, cold waterfalls, wild forests and volcanic lakes... Great times! :)






And of course, we are here because of the diving. Nice blue water, good visibility and lots of marine species. Here we always get lots of amazing film opportunities!






Some images from our last dives at the wreck DORI, east of Ponta Delgada, Sao Miguel... Nice dives - happy faces! :)
