Anchored in Madeira

We arrived in Madeira at 9 am and discovered a lovely big and almost empty anchorage waiting for us. It is so great to be anchored out again, much nicer than squashed into a marina. The bay is big and beautiful, surrounded by bare volcanic cliffs and no buildings, there are only 2 other boats here, both French and both red! With our yellow hull we must make a colourful display for all the hikers that tramp along the ridges.

We hope to wait out the bad weather here and then carry on at or after the weekend. We have had a lovely lazy day, recovering from the passage and have a list of jobs to do tomorrow. I will write more then.

Zero miles to go! Still wrong country....
