Porto Santo, Madeira, 12.9.05

Hello all, we made it to Porto Santo after four and a bit days of racing downwind. Strange to see the sun set and rise over the sea. This island is like something out of a childrens dinosaur book: volcanic, arid and spectacular. We are all enjoying being here, and are meeting up with all the hard-core cruisers who have left Portugal and are off south. The kids are having a good time: their best friends arrived last night on Regina from Lisbon. I'm off to London for a week to see Great Aunt Beattie, and set Fred off to University. We're having trouble sending photos so I'm afraid you'll just have to imagine the blue skys etc.!!
