We are in sight of Madeira, having motored all night due to no wind, now we have 12-15 knots and are sailing at 4-5 knots, but will need to slow down so we arrive in daylight tomorrow morning. We are going to anchor initially, there seems to be a nice big open and deserted bay, but it's open to the south which is where this bad weather will come from. So we may manage a night or two there and then if the weather is really bad we will have to go to the expensive marina 2.5 miles away.
Alan dismantled our noisy winch today but couldn't find anything wrong, he will have another look when we are stationary. It is making such a terrible noise, something must be loose in there.
It looks like we may be here for a week or so before the weather is suitable to carry on to Morocco.
Only 55 miles to go (still wrong country!)
