Through the Mists

So day 6 is rapidly approaching. At 6 am we will dock in Puerto Delgado in the Azores. There is something exciting about seeing twinkling lights in the distance during any kind of Sea Voyage. I remember in 2018 when I took a freighter from Philadelphia to Auckland for 28days it was the same. The first 10 days through the Caribbean were beautiful but we passed a lot of islands and land never seemed far away. However the 18 days across the South Pacific were a completely different story. After evenings of unbelievable night skies and days of nothing but water when I spotted twinkling lights of NZ I got quite excited. I felt anxiety and excitement. It’s always the same for me whether it be a cruise ship or ocean liner or freighter loaded with containers.

Land Ho !
