Definitely

There's definitely somebody trying to get aboard the Argo II. I got access to the historical library today and spent most of the day there. When I left I turned the in-port alarm system back on. It beeps me on a little key-fob receiver if there's an alarm. It went off twice.

I'm not that worried about the vessel; it locks up pretty tightly, and the harbormaster (who speaks English, thankfully) promised to keep an eye on it. I called him after each alarm and he said he'd check it out.

I didn't see anybody following me today, at least. Probably because they were trying to get aboard my boat. I'm feeling pretty alone here right now. And there's still nobody answering the door at BSAI.

On the bright side, I found some old documents that I think might be important. I can't read a word of them, but the librarian said they were from the 1500s and talked about the earliest settlers recorded here, and what they experienced. I don't know exactly what's significant about this -- probably not that much, because my parents just said "if I had a chance" I should see what I could find. Anyway, I took some hi-res photos of the pages that I emailed back to Greenland. I hope somebody can read archaic Portugese.

This is the end of my stay in Horta; tomorrow I'm taking the Argo II on a short hop to Sao Jorge. It's a long, narrow island about 30 km away, and it's supposed to have a very mysterious early history. My dad sent me two sets of coordinates I'm supposed to check out.
