Title: Mid passage to Madeira

Making very good progress on the way to Madeira. The first 24 hours were done mostly under engine. The wind came up at dusk last night and we have had a good 15 knot north westerly ever since. We are ticking off the miles averaging between 8.5 and 9 knots. No mutiny as yet and a (relatively) happy crew......the unhappiness created by not only failing to catch any tuna but also losing 2 of our lures over night. I think that they were ripped off by a monster from the deep. Charlie thinks that we were just going too fast and our knots were not good enough. I am sure that you will join me in being concerned about his delusional state. 
 
Fray bentos for supper tonight. Yipppeeeeee!
 
Should arrive in Porto Santo at 3am ish - i.e. 12 hours time.
