Got on a ship that was so big they wouldn't let me steer it (984 feet). Steamed across to the Azores, stopping in Ponta Delgado on Sao Miguel. Great day trip to twin crater lakes, one creen and one blue. Then steamed to Madeira, where we got to try some of the eponymous beverage when we took a tour of the wine merchant Blandy's -- and bought two bottles of product. After these Portugese islands, travelled to Cadiz, Spain, where we took a great tour of Seville. Then through the straits of Gibralter at night -- with live commentary by a US Navy Captain who happened to be on-board and had great nav software I got to watch. Arrived Barcelona after 14 great days at sea.
