"28:11.64N 15:23.60W"  It was with some mixed emotions and the usual last minute panic, C Col said that everything’s under control, and we’re good to go.

Just passing the north of the island we were given a superb view of Mount Teide on Tenerife, some 60 miles to the west.  Next stop Madeira, hopefully missing the Selvagens islands on the way. Weather is good flat calm, very hot and sunny.

All Belinda can say is “are we there yet”
