well it's time for us to leave Porto and

start to head south we left Porto from

the Douro River and the marina that we'd

enjoyed our Christmas at and we started

to head down the coast towards cash cash

which is a suburb of Lisbon

from here we actually deviated from our

original plan which was to head to

Morocco and we decided to go to Madeira

across the open Atlantic which turned

out to be a great choice we really

enjoyed Madeira all I had to offer

here's a quick snapshot from our

tracking showing our actual route taken

as we get somewhere close to cash hey

Lisbon

I seen a lot of that so far Lisbon is

somewhere behind

[Music]

around this point at insa marina - gage

cake finally we were sailing downwind

security guards just in case

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

and after cash cash it was time to head

on to Madeira just a couple of days sail

across the Atlantic daybreak on the

banks of January

approaching the island

just just north of Madeira

compel ago

Santo

Porto Santo

[Music]

so here we are

arriving Madeira this is isla desert

just

starboard side

take a little more video over there

some video of the island of Madeira on

our approach for about 10 miles or so

out from the tip of Madeira we're

actually going to go around to the south

side to Marina in Funchal which is the

largest town in Madeira and if I pan

over to port side you will see the very

impressive island of yellow dessert Oh

or something like that looks like

there's a lighthouse on the very end

there that may be hard to see on the

video very prominent Island

and if I turn back round starboard side

and look behind us after the starboard

quarter should see the island of Porto

Santo a little hard for me to see in the

viewfinder but I can see it quite well

hopefully showing up try to zoom in a

little bit

I can maybe going out

[Music]

why here we go

hopefully that zoomed-in Porto Santo we

passed that in the early hours of the

morning and hopefully some of this

footage will work out and be usable

[Music]

great passage happy to be in Madeira

today

we are motoring as we arrived in Madeira

wind has gone very light she's pretty

calm waves are probably still three feet

or so but nice light and Rolly

they certainly don't look that on the

video I know but they never do

beats the 20 photos we have

we are currently making water with a

portable Rain Man water maker which is

semi plumbed in now we've got a

through-hole that we had installed and

I've got it connected we're still using

electric extension lead and a temporary

pipe up to the water tank oops get that

plumb together when we find a few more

fittings but it's working great making

about 30 gallons an hour

and we've managed to have a couple of

mandatory shower days under passage

which makes a huge difference in fact I

think the girls are currently taking

their mandatory showers

[Music]

[Laughter]

[Music]

[Music]

who

[Music]

once again the coastline of Madeira is

spectacular

just like Portugal

[Music]

and we pulled into the marina in front

shell

there we are on the seawall

[Applause]

[Music]

so we have been in and still are in

Comoros to Lobos which is the fishing

village area fun shall Madeira windless

day so we're not going anywhere so we

just hanging out doing a little bit of

sightseeing and it is absolutely

beautiful here

[Music]

[Music]

and Showell was very hilly and we

certainly got a good workout walking up

and down those steep streets we also

took the gondola to the top of the

mountain where we got a first-hand view

of the famous fun child's bargain

[Music]

while we're infant shall we rented a car

and did a tour of the island and also

visited the Porto manie's natural pools

which really hadn't seemed that natural

but they were fun to visit anyway yeah

[Music]

[Applause]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

[Music]

just like the famous wall in the Azores

dearer has a wall where you can paint

your boat name so just walking back

towards where we are now
