Adventures of Sailing Yacht Mist
We left Vila do Porto just after seven in the morning. Nice sailing all the way, a beam reach under full sail and we made an average speed of 6,2 knots arriving at Punta Delgada in the afternoon of May 13. Punta Delgada is a big city, compared to Vila do Porto anyway, lots of …
We left Funchal late in the afternoon and motored westward along the south coast of Madeira. When we reached the Ponta do Pargo the northerly wind hit us and we sailed close hauled with just the jib in about 25 knots of wind and quite heavy seas. The second day the wind eased and turned …
We really liked Rubicon and Lanzarote but after spending a month there it was time to move on. The course was set for Funchal, Madeira. Nice sailing the first 24 hours and then the wind disappeared and we motored the last day and night and arrived at Funchal half past eight in the morning of …

We left Marina San Miguel at dawn, 2 reefs in the main and the heavy weather jib. Close hauled on port tack and we were doing good progress towards Puerto …
We left Las Galletas after just one night, motoring to the nearby very sheltered Marina San Miguel. San Miquel is just a golf resort and a marina but the nearby village San Blas is in walking distance, just a few kilometres away. We went for walks and a hike to Las Galletas, nice views and …
