madeira-with its full power

Hello again,

Sorry for the delay from our last blogg.

We have arrived to Madeira. 8 hours sailing from Porto Santo. A small jump for us now after 4 BIG jumps. This isalnd id REALLY Amazing.

We rented a car the first 2 Days to explore th Island. And we took all the small roads that not the normal visitors do. The experience we got was Amazing, literally!

The Place was more like a jungle. Some "road" passages was with rocks and mud and the vegetation was so intensive that the roof of the car was dragging with leafes from the trees.

The first night we came here we had a storm coming in, again……

Our bimini roof was blowned to pieces. In the night me and Charlotte had to row out and help other boats to secure the bridge. All the other boats North of us was dragging the whole bridge against us. All was securily fixed in the end. Its nice to see that "sailing" people helps each other when the wheather wants something else.

Accept from the russian sailors then, they actually dont giva a shit what happens to other.

today we had a full day in Funchal, the main city here on the Island. Some shopping ang preparing for our take off to Las Palmas.

We also managed to find a guy who repairs chapells and sails. He took our destroyed Bimini and promised to repair it until our take off on Wednesday.

If you get a chance to go to Madeira, go here !!!!

We have had some wonderful Days in Cascais with all 4 kids. Axel and Nils came and joined us on friday morning until sunday. We explored Sintra, a small Town in the Mountains with a lot of Castles and extreme nature. On Saturday we explored Cascais. We Went to Bocca Inferno, a big cave that has fallen together, a really cool Place. Then we also Went to huge park with a lot of wild birds.

The weather was perfect both days, up to 26 degrees.

Today we leave for a small Island called Porto Santo, 3-4 days sailing right out in the Atlantic. We are now getting closer and closer to Las Palmas and it feels good. Its nice to not have the time pressure to get there in time for the ARC.

See you in Porto Santo and lets exlore that Island !!

Finally we can have shorts and T-shirts on :)

Unfortunalety we heard that the next days will be really windy here, they talk about storm. So we cant leave La Coruna Before Sunday morning. On with all the ropes and fenders again and wait out the weather. Its the fifth time since we left Sweden....

The Days in Coruna we spend on school for the kids, training, shopping and go to cefees and resturants. We also of course talk to other sailors and hear what they have for plans.

Tonight we will have gusts on board. Its a local spanish couple, both doctors we met here in Coruna. It will be very interresting to hear what they have to say about this Place. Meeting locals are Always interresting.

On sunday we will try to go directly to Lissabon from here. Almost the same distance as crossing the Biscaya, approx 2,5 Days at sea again.

Hope to see you in Lissabon next time :)

PS.La Coruna have approx 300000 habitants and is a very clean and proper city with a lot of things to do. We can strongly recommend to come here for some Days.
