Well, if you mean landfall for me that would have to be Horta in the Azores. A wonderful place, most people arrive there by boat, as we did after a 15 day passage from Bermuda. One of the long standing traditions there is to paint your boat name on the mole at the jam-packed marina. Another is to visit Peter Cafe Sport, one of the coolest places in all sailingdom.
