Sailed to Madeira
leaving Porto Santo this morning. The
trip was about 25 miles so for part of it we were surrounded by the waters of
the Atlantic with no land in sight. Saw
three ‘Tall Ships’ on the horizon during the course of the day so assume there
is some Tall Ship race on around here.
And that water is a wonderful deep but bright blue. As I write this we are anchored up in a bay
at the far eastern end of Madeira. We
are surrounded by colourful sandstone cliffs so we are protected from the 20
knot winds coming in from the other side of the island and relatively still,
although the wind is whistling around the rocks that surround us.
Tomorrow we drop off Mark T so
he can get to Madeira airport and fly home for an interview. Myself, Graham and Tracey will stay on the
boat for a few days and explore Madeira.
