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.
