Got to Madeira on Monday
night, caught ferry to Porto Santo early Tue and joined the others on the
boat. For the last couple of days we have been ensconced in the marina,
which is about a mile along an empty beach to the local town. Not very
built up and very mellow; the sort of place where you spend all day waiting for something to happen only to be
disappointed.
Currently enjoying a coffee in the local town square making use of the free wifi to get e-mail access. Not quite hardened adventurer, no frills, basic life stuff really but then who's complaining….?
We are moving out of the marina later and then going to anchor off the beach about a mile further along. All being well right opposite a little beach bar in the town. Waves are a bit choppy so I reckon we will be rolling around a bit and although only a few hundred yards off shore will possibly not be able to get ashore in our little dinghy. We will see...Plan is to sail to Madeira in a couple of days and spend some time there before moving on to the Canaries. First stop will be Lanzarote.
