Identifying Yacht

Hi,

If it's a new dock you might find their name painted on the wall as they used to be in the old Port in Horta.

You could also ask the port or does the newspaper have a list of vessel movements.

Wild guess....My Shanti (Amels)

Thanks for the picture of the new Marina. I have only stopped there once, about twenty years ago and at that time there were only a handful of buoys to use and then use tenders. We stayed a couple of days and drove around the whole island, I made a video so I can remind myself of this beautiful place. With a marina like this I guess you will get a lot more visitors!

Hi,

There can be many reasons why a yacht spends more than a few hours in a port that is normally just a re fueling spot.

I spent a week in Horta in 2002 after fueling en route to Ft Lauderdale owing to a poor weather outlook.

This was a bit of a bonus- it allowed for all the crew to get a look around the island, some hired motorcycles and a good time was had by all in a place where normally 90% of the Crew onboard do not even get the chance to get ashore.

They might also have some sort of mechanical problem and be awaiting spares or specialist help to get them fully functional again.

Isnt Google great
