On Route to Maderia
 
Left Albufiera finally at 08.00 on the 22nd. We had come to really like the marina and
town. The staff in the marina were particularly helpful. Having finally received the spare
part for the generator  too late on Friday to depart we decided to take a walk along the
cliffs opposite to the 'town' side and discovered some lovely areas that are at present
undeveloped.
Our sailing has been cold and rough so far with winds up to 45kts - a rude awakening!
A lot different  to the last time we sailed down here with Vicki and David but that was
two months earlier.
Approx 270nm to run  at 14.00 hrs to Porto Santo our first stop.
