The welcome here by everyone concerned has been quite remarkable. The harbour authorities have worked tirelessly with great patience in the face of a never ending stream of yachts arriving after long passages. Peter’s Cafe Sport too have gone beyond expectations by visiting boats under quarantine and doing shopping for them by going off to the supermarket and working late into the night to deliver food, water, gas and restaurant quality meals. The process of testing for Covid19 has been well organised by the Maritime Police and Health Authority with results available within 24 hours.
Jobiska has been one of the beneficiaries of the kindness of the wonderful Azorean people. We have great memories of these islands from 2 previous visits but had not really appreciated just how lucky we are to have these islands, an essential stopover for the trans Atlantic sailor, inhabited by such kind and caring people.
