We are still on our way to Madeira though we've had to take a bit of a detour due to Westerly winds that is just our luck as they are highly unusual this time of year! At one point yesterday we were on course to visit Casablanca, which might be fun but it isn't on our list just now! Oh well, I guess that's sailing.
The water here is purple-coloured it's so clear and the weather is sunny and warm. Daddy caught his first tuna this morning which we ate for lunch but lost three and then a big one took all his fishing line he got from Grandpa's and almost even took the rod. What was this fish??
Yesterday too we saw a big cruise ship in the middle of nowhere and it came really close and we waved to all the people sitting in the cruise ship jacuzzis. Delphine was a little jealous but we told her it's much funnier on Quest reading Biff and Chip!
Ellie and Lulu had a little bet for when we'd arrive in Madeira. Lulu bet that we would get there Wednesday morning and Ellie bet we would get there Tuesday afternoon and the loser has to jump in the sea as soon as we get there. Right now, it looks like Ellie is going for a swim!
