Log Entry: June 20
        
         On June 16th, we arrived at 5 am.  Like the other two times, we came in first
        ahead of boats who left three hours before us.  Again no one knew we were
        racing!!! On the 23rd, it will be the true test and race!!!  However, we did win
        another prize!  We won a prize for going the most miles in  24 hours. We did
        179NM in 24hrs. It was a bottle of Coconut Rum!!!
         I, as Captain in name only, had to visit FIVE OFFICIALS to get processed to
        enter this island of San Miguel, in the Azores. Punta Delgada is the largest city and
        since they had many problems in the past with drugs, they have a very thorough
        process of entering into the country. All were friendly so it wasn't toooo bad!! 
        Then we walked around the town and had lunch.  That afternoon we took a short
        tour to see the twin lakes.  One was blue and the other green with a semitropical
        plantation surrounding it.
         On the 17th, we took a tour from 9:00 am to 6 PM. We actually started at 10:00
        am though.  We visited towns on the north and south coasts with spectacular views,
        sulfur pools, a liquor store with samples, a tea factory with samples and watched
        as our lunch was dug out of the ground! Then we followed our guide to a beautiful
        hotel for a most delicious and interesting lunch.  We had about five kinds of meats,
        two kinds of potatoes, vegetables and then pineapple and the most delicious
        chocolate cake I have tasted!  (no dinner for me tonight!!)  Then we walked around
        the gardens that were on the grounds.  It had been the American Embassy and they
        had a volcanic heated outside pool which was brown in color from the iron.  The
        gardens were fantastic with pools with fish, and every type of plant life from all the
        islands including yams with their elephant ear leaves!
         On the 18th and 19th, we walked around Ponta Delgada which has more people
        here than all of the other islands combined.  Today Kelli and Chris, two of our
        crew,  left to go home.  Chris has a new job and we wish him well.  They were
        good crew and helped us during our passage.                            
         The 20th found all three of us cleaning, fixing and getting things for the boat. 
        Many of the ladies and a few gents, went to get their hair cut, including me!  At
        night we had a gathering at a harbor side restaurant for pizza, wings and all sorts
        of goodies. 
         Several boats will be leaving between now and the 23rd.  Only about 8 boats
        will be going to Lagos, Portugal on June 23rd. So far the weather looks good for
        a slow, high pressure system, passage.
