Terceira to Sao Jorge: Left Angra do Heroismo as they were expecting a race/rally of 30+ boats and all itinerant yachts had to go (N.B. The race has been chasing us round the islands). Little wind from the wrong direction meant we motorsailed the whole 50 nm but did see 3 groups of dolphins. Arrived at Velas Sao Jorge about 8 pm just too late to try the small marina. Book says anchorage has room for 6 or 7 yachts but the 2 already there seemed to be taking up most of it. Little German catamaran mostly lying nowhere near his anchor buoy (maybe he has a weight on the chain?) and exceedingly grumpy Frenchman haranguing us incomprehensibly so we had to anchor twice so that we were clear of his anchor as well as his boat. Of course by morning another two boats had come in both much closer to us than we were to the Frenchman. And it was raining. After the unpleasantness and the uneasy anchorage we nearly went straight on without checking in, but got the dinghy ready to give it a try. The really pleasant and helpful marina master redeemed the situation, he was so nice. But it seems this is the one island in the Azores where you can book ahead, and everyone else has. Boats have come and gone and still no place for Timshel in the marina so we will move on. N.B. They charge for anchoring (due to government regulation apparently) half what you would pay in the marina but you do get a keycard to use the facilities.
