Dear forum members

we are contemplating a sail to azores from ireland next year and then possibly leaving the boat in the azores for the winter, on the hard.
anyone done this before and any suggestions?I think Praia di Vittoria on Terceira may be the best option but would be good to know of any alternatives.
if you have any contact names etc and indication of winter prices that would be great.

all the best
