In the summer 2022 we sailed and explored the Azores archipelago located in the middle of the Atlantic Ocean. The trip was AMAZING!!! Everyone was fantastic. We loved every second of the adventure. The azores is one of the most beautiful places we’ve ever seen, and we should definitely come back there in the future.
