Porto Santo

We are now in Porto Santo, twenty miles north of Madeira. Unfortunately the municipal internet will not allow me to access my memory stick. I cannot therefore post the blog and pictures which we have prepared.

We are having a great time and Sal Darago is going well. The fridge is very thirsty for electricity. On sunny days the solar panels keep up with demand but during the night the fridge uses 45 amps which is about 15% of the batteries. If it weren't for the food, I'd turn it off as it necessitates us running the engine in harbour. Apart from that it has been hot and sunny since we left Cascais, Portugal and everyone has been very friendly, particularly the French.

Hopefully we shall find somewhere that does allow us to use the stick and you will receive "The Blog".
