Sailing to UK from Carib instead of flying: issues/help please

[t21]

t21: We're in A Coruna. Would that be an option?

They are accepting boats. There are flights to the UK. In the past week we've seen quite a few boats coming in from the Carrib, Madeira and the Azores. Boats were allowed to reprovision / refuel at Horta only and were asked to move on.

La Coruña yes maybe... all I need is transport to uk. V sound people there....

I could stay and help with your spelling? Forums are about reading and writing about boat stuff. Boats are for travel and fun. So maybe ease up a touch. Also I would say it might be better to use “on” or “at” another forum, a forum effectively being a stage for all participants. Or of course, that was the Classical ideal. Normally, ideas, changes and improvements could be suggested and discussed intelligently. Maybe try that?

You're just like a politician, never answer the question. Are you leaving or what?
As far as spelling goes, check your own posts before you criticize others.

I’ll likely be leaving sometime in May, like most people, and aim for Horta.

Coruña sounds interesting, and having flights to UK is usually ordinary but suddenly -gosh!- amazing!! From Santiago di Compostella?

And no quarantine? Maybe the individual Junta/ regions get to decide.

Last time I was there, a nice old guy in the dory and I communicated in sign language about the fuel dock. Another time the large decorative flower bed outside the town hall was arranged to show “No Parking” haha.

I’m not a politician of course, but if was I’d be an English one and use English spelling, so “criticise” not the American “criticize “ or maybe you actually are American? Spelling is at least that important.

No going ashore yet,

We are saying the same thing.
My info comes from the Govt. of the Azores Covid 19 website.

Good stuff. Although weirdly, what is writ on websites may not happen in actuality. So experience of other boats is that no limit on anchoring/staying time, ok to collect from q dock. Keep in Touch if U hear different, new thread or PM me, thanks

Quite normal for Portugal. I was given 20 days to respond to a letter from an official, then told by same official that they have to put that as its the law, but they are flexible.

I have had a thought .
Dick Branson is stuck at the top of BVI, he is that desperate to fly he will put his island up as colateral .
Maybe drift up to Necker and he could crew you back, may be best to disable stereo before he comes on board, unless you like Tubular Bells.
The other problem is he may have a pile of condoms left from his help with a previouse pandemic, so possably he may ask you to wear one on your head.
