A very pleasant sail round parts if Madeira coast. - Although our sail was re-arranged , we enjoyed a 3hr afternoon trip and saw pilot whales as well as the high cliffs of Capo Girao and the village of Câmara de Lobos. Several went swimming off Capo Girao and reported the sea reasonably warm at 26C.

A relaxed sailing trip - A lovely relaxed boat trip, with a nice spot to stop and have a swim and snorkel in the shadow of cabo girao. Although this boat tour doesn't set out to do dolphin spotting we were still lucky enough to get a good sighting. Thankyou to the crew, Francesca and Andre who were great and very knowledgeable about the wildlife and the area.
