By 15.30 this afternoon we will have sailed 72 hours, 3
full days. We motored a little yesterday afternoon and in the night.
Sailing again since 3 am with the hydrovane is so much more peaceful, on the
other hand it was important to get our batteries topped up again and the motion
was easier than wallowing in very little wind. We can now see the
archipelago of Madeira on our chart-plotter and would like to run into Porto
Santo before the strong winds forecast but looking at our ETA (Estimated Time of
Arrival) it will be in the pitch black of the night , not at all to Catherine's
liking, considering the unlit rocks at the approach. Well we have a whole day to
make a decision and see the new Grib file (weather).
