Since there are hardly any anchorages in the Azores in front of the high islands without bays, only the marinas or protected areas behind breakwaters offer boats protection. Sailors must register and deregister at every anchorage/marina. A fee is usually charged for anchoring.
Velas is a small, pretty town on the southern mountainside of the island. As soon as we have registered, we stretch our legs and enjoy the view from the approximately 160-meter-high local mountain over the town and the anchored boats off the steep coast of Sao Jorge.
