The wind has died down so we're hoping to go across
to Madeira tomorrow - although we will be straight into a Marina there since
storm Otto is currently growing around the Azores and so it may be getting
windy again later in the week. Still - we have kept ourselves busy with a
long march up Pico Castelo yesterday which is one of the highest peaks in the
middle of the island - worn out when we got back to the boat!
Unfortunately the visibility was not too good but still took a few shots across
the island
  and found out finally how to work the time delay on
the camera so a rare shot of both of us making our way back down the road from
the top of the hill
 There are quite a lot of us in the Marina who have
been waiting a couple of days to go - so lots of people to chat with, think it
will be an exodus to Madeira in the next day. We went out for a wild night
in Porto Santo town on Saturday - the town is really, really quiet but we
found a nice bar in the centre and made the mistake of having tequila's . .
..
 mainly tidying up today as we're planning to head
to Madeira itself finally tomorrow - although we are booked into a Marina as
looks like there is some bad weather on the way, it will give us a chance to see
the island though with the boat tied up in a Marina. Adam took Jim for a
dive off the beach today - Jim hasn't dived for a few years so it got him back
in the water again and the weather was nice and warm - unfortunately they didn't
see too many fish but the main reason was for him to get back in the water, we
think he liked it.
