Porto Santo
33º03.482' N
16º19.234' W
We made it!!! However, we had one more thrill before it was over. As we were docking in the Porto Santo marina, the tiller broke, so we had to back out of the marina very carefully and anchor in the harbor. Later in the morning, we replaced the tiller with a backup aluminum tube, and we'll try to get the old tiller re-welded when we get to the main island of Madeira.
The stars last night were phenomenal, so I had no problem staying awake for my shifts. However, it meant that I was thoroughly exhausted when we got here at 8 AM, and I slept soundly for several hours immediately after we set anchor.
Chris and Marinette arrived around noon, and we spent the afternoon hiking around the island.
