Another Dutch schooner arrived in Horta on Saturday afternoon.

Several locals hurried to welcome the newcomer.

Pico (the volcano) was a bit shy though and it decided to hide behind the clouds.

The arrival of the Regina Maris was a real event in the marina. You could literally see people running towards the ship.

And there were some emotional moments…

The ship has been sailing around for a few months with some secondary school children on board.

The Regina Maris has visited Horta many times. We learnt that she will stay in town for a week.
