Madeira m'dear?

And here we are, in Funchal, Madeira after 1100 miles of sailing. The crew are enjoying their shore leave - one of them has even found a MacDonalds for lunch..?!

We're going to stay here overnight, and whilst the marina quay wall is less than perfect, free wifi and showers makes up for it, and for less euros than a night for a 20 footer in Cowes.

We've bought a bottle of madeira, some madeira cake and are off to explore Funchal, although someone has to be back to tend our lines as the tide drops. How come being in a marina takes more work than lying to anchor?!

Some photos from the passage:
