Atlantic Islands 2: Porto Santo to Madeira

Yen Nguyen

We needed to get to Madeira in good time for Luke's flight so braved the very choppy upwind passage with engine. I kept watch and management of the auto tiller for the whole passage and didn't quite trust myself to spend any time below with such choppy waters - so ended up rather wet and cold but overall fine! Hurrah! Wind and gusts were even more than forecasted which made for a very wet and bumpy final approach into Quinta do Lorde marina. Skipper handled the entry with finesse!
