In the last 24hrs we have made 130nm so another
satisfactory day on RT. The conditions have been perfect with a f3/4 from the
north. Still flying a full headsail and the mizen, with speeds of 5/6 kns, no
stress on RT or the crew including Monica. Monica has steered us almost
exclusively since we left Cascais, what a lovely lady.
We have changed our destination slightly and are
heading initially for the Island on Porto Santa in the Arquipelago de Madeira.
>From here we can sort out where to head for on the main Island of Madeira which
is just a day sail away.
