At Sea - On route to Madeira

Hi Everyone

At last we are within 24 hrs. of Madeira. This has been a trying but uneventful trip. The last few days we have been in the centre of a high pressure system, the wind has been very light, the famous tall North Atlantic swell has been rolling gently under the boat, moving us gently from side to side to remind us that we are still at sea. We have been forced to motor for the last three days but have enough fuel to reach our destination. We are planning our arrival at dawn tomorrow. Yesterday we saw a pod of dolphins. They came to have a look at us but to our regret, didn't stay to play. John has been inspired by all the rap he listens to and is now writing folk poetry to our delight. He is really turning out to be quite good at this. Arti has also been inspired and has written a very long poem about John to the amusement of us all. This has really been a long leg of the journey and we are all looking forward to about a 10 day stay in Madeira. We will have good internet contact in Madeira so we will be back on our land internet 

Lots of love,
Arti & Dimitri
