Hecuba in Porto Santo

Team Hecuba

Hi All
Greetings from the island of Porto Santo ( small island NE of Madeira ).
We are now chilling in the marina here after a fast 70 hour passage from Lagos.
Winds 15-25 knots and broad reaching all the way - fabulous !
Seas a bit lumpy and we had to slow Hecuba down on after the half way mark to avoid landfall in the dark.
Bit of a baptism of fire for Steve's first passage on Hecuba but he coped extremely well although we were both ready for sleep in horizontal bunks last night !
Plan to stay here until Saturday and then a short passage to Madeira and then ready for another longish passage to Lanzarote.
Looking forward to getting the full crew on board in Las Palmas in readiness for the Atlantic.
Cheers
Cap'n Larry
