In the last 24hrs we have made 130nm so another satisfactory day on RT. The conditions have been perfect with a f3/4 from the north. Still flying a full headsail and the mizen, with speeds of 5/6 kns, no stress on RT or the crew including Monica. Monica has steered us almost exclusively since we left Cascais, what a lovely lady.
 
We have changed our destination slightly and are heading initially for the Island on Porto Santa in the Arquipelago de Madeira. >From here we can sort out where to head for on the main Island of Madeira which is just a day sail away.
