Squid Game for Boaters - How a Small Thing Can Cause BIG Problems. Are We Able to Solve 'm?
On our way to Porto Santo our engine broke down in the middle of the night. We had to anchor under sail in a bay that lies underneath the cliffs of Porto Santo; with wind funnelling through the mountains that was kind of a struggle. Luckily we were helped by fellow sailors that gathered in their dinghies. After a day of rest and a bit of sightseeing we dive into our engine problem. In one of our books an almost too simple solution is described. We try it, of course, but it almost seems to good to be true. Will it work?? We get a visit from an old friend and explore the island (and its food & drinks!). After almost two weeks we head sail to Madeira: a completely different island. Opposite to the dry Porto Santo, Madeira is very green. We go high up in the mountains to get a taste of autumn. We follow the running water in the levada's and stretch our sea legs. But soon it's time to sail further South to Tenerife. Follow us along!
