32:38.69N 16:54.33W 23rd We’ve arrived in Funchal capital of
Madeira wet and weary. We are at anchorage
which is very rocky and rolly. The
voyage was like a game of 2 halves, first half was light winds, flat seas and
very sunny whereas the second was high winds, patchy sun and rough seas. Also we
were nearly run down by a fishing boat on the first night out. If it hadn’t have
been for our last minute evasive action we’d be matchsticks. Bit of déjà vu here
with our trip around cap St Vincente last year. Neither have got our sea legs
yet, so have been on a fast for the last few days. Looking forward to dry land
and eating properly.
