Offshore Sailing to Madeira - EP 10

Our longest offshore sail yet — We try to stay sane while chipping away at a 700-mile crossing from Tangier to Madeira.

The contrasts from Gibraltar to Tangier were many. After a whirlwind few days, we are eager to be enveloped again in the serenity of endless blue horizons. Crew of three. Tangier to Madeira. Six days offshore.

Time is passing quickly. Days and weeks slipping by, full of activities. We relish the space for introspection and reflection. Essential time to understand our experiences and ascribe meaning to our memories. We settle into the offshore pattern. Night watches. Some wind. Lots of motoring.

We dodge larger traffic and make good headway. PredictWind helps us find the wind and we use the Code Zero to keep up 5 to 6 knots. The apparent wind is mostly at our beam. The seas are mild.
