Quick trip to Velas, Sao Jorge

Sao Jorge, (named for St. George, the dragon slayer) is another beautiful spot in the Azores.  Cobblestone streets, mosaic plazas and scenic views and friendly people are the norm.  You can see for yourself by watching the slideshow in the post below.

Unfortunately the marina was fairly full and we were tied up on the concrete pier in front of reception with another boat rafted next to us.  This was not real comfortable, especially at low tide and we left the following day.  We were lucky not to have a lot of wind coming in while we were there as the concrete pier isright at the entrance and quite open to the sea.
