Whilst relaxing in the lovely Quinta do Lorde Marina we noticed that flags were being put up and a crowd was gathering playing music and looking very smart (we’ve not seen suits for awhile!). It turns out that an amazing woman was swimming all the way from Porto Santo to Madeira (over 50km in very rough and tidal water)! We duly cheered her on as she swam right past our yacht in the marina.
Nicola – you will be pleased to know this has inspired the boys swimming no end 
and Felix is determined to be the first to swim the Atlantic!!😂 We will start with the marina resort lovely pools first!!
