Back in Madeira!

Hello again! Well we are back in Maderia after a frantic 3 days back home for the Ostar prize giving, and to be honest we're quite relieved to be back! All is well on the boat, and we have come back with a few new extra bits of kit for the boat, most notably a solar panel so we can keep all our laptops, cameras, phones and fridge chugging along in an eco friendly manner!
Will has come down with a heavy cold this morning and is currently tucked up in bed with some nurofen, so I am having a wonderfully quiet afternoon catching up on emails and reading up about Maderia. It has been raining here since we got back yeterday, but it's that nice warm rain so I don't mind at all- in fact it makes me feel like I'm high up in some tropical mountains as I'm surrounded by volcano's everywhere. We are hiring a car for 2 days from tomorrow to see some of the Island, and then the plan is to do Funchal for a few days and leave early next week sometime.
I've been struggling to upload my dolphin video on this site and facebook - it seems the technology is just too much for me - but hopefully it will work this time, as it's pretty cool!
Anyway- will write an update soon once we've got pics and adventures from the Island to report back!
Tam, Man-Flu Will, and Elmarleen.
