Email 4 October

Done the sledging!  Went back into Funchal yesterday and had another look around.  Thursday we spent sorting out stuff on the boat with me down in the bowels of the boat trying to fix our generator which has never worked properly.  No joy, and without the Haynes manual there is an element of guessing and working stuff out but heh, I should be able to suss these things!

We went up in the cable car yesterday, had a look around the gardens at the top and the general area.  Had a look around the church and then got the sledge down.  Good fun.  I was in the first one and Graham and Tracey in the one behind so there's a long video of my descent. 

Peace and quiet today as Thorpey is back in UK and the other two have gone to do a Levada walk in Funchal.  I am on the boat listening to world service (almost Radio 4!) and doing a few fixing jobs.
