Lazy Sunday

Today's major activity was the design and execution of a stencilled Tintin logo on the harbour wall at Porto Santo. There are hundreds of paintings along the wall, of varying standard, not sure we have raised the bar at all, dribbling paint being a bit of an issue!

This little island lies just NE of Madeira and is a "top destination" for Madeira tourists who arrive on the daily ferry to enjoy the long sandy beach and relaxed vibe.The harbour is full of serious looking ocean going boats who are stopping en route south.

We have just waved goodbye to Stephen (AW), Melita and Bea. All will be sadly missed. It's been a lot of fun on board.

Tomorrow we'll be leaving this calm harbour and heading south, 300 miles to Tenerife.  The winds are abating and we expect to be motoring much of the way
