We sailed from Porto Santo directly into the wind (F6) to Quinta do Lorde in Madeira on Saturday. Perhaps not the obvious thing to do, but it had become pretty uncomfortable at anchor in the harbour, there was no chance of a marina berth, and our batteries were very low (generator problems at present). So we set off anyway, and after a bumpy ride we made it to Madeira last night.

We haven't yet seen much of the island, but so far it is promising; a lovely welcome, a great marina, a couple of beers and a nice meal! What more could we want?

Probably here for at least a week whilst we explore and get ourselves sorted out again.
