We spent those four days talking, being sick, sleeping, cooking, eating and drinking and we generally had a good time - except when sick. It was a bit chilly at night, especially when everything got humid. In the last hours, the wind died so we motored into Porto Santo Marina for a well deserved rest.
So now we're anchored near Funchal and tomorrow John is taking the ferry home, while Scott and Brandon will cruise Madeira with Victor Too the next week.
We had a lot of laughs and even though there was some grief, all was quickly forgotten after we sighted land.
I still find it amazing we can find such a tiny speck of land in such a big ocean, but for the explorers this was an even bigger feat, since they didn't know it was there.
Still, it felt glorious to step on land so far from the European main land. Victor Too now is truly away from home.
