We reached Quinta do Lorde marina in Madeira a week ago after a passage which was a bit boisterous for he first 24 hours but became increasingly placid and pleasant. This is a really pleasant and well-run little marina near the east extremity of Madeira that forms the first phase of a resort village that is currently being built. Jacqui, John & Chris flew home on the day after arrival afer making a fine job of cleaning the boat, so I then spent some time shopping, fixing a loo door that succumbed to a low-flying person during the passage and researching the walking potential of Madeira. Here are some pictures of our last few hours at sea and the east end of Madeira.
