Still in Porto Santo

We are still in Porto Santo. We love this island for it quiet and relaxed athmosphere.

Today we rented a car and went exploring. On the higher peaks there were some nice viewpoints.
Here is one of them overlooking the port and the marina we are in.

We zoomed in to get a look on "Ocean Viking" resting at the pontoon.

The north side of the island was clearly marked by earlier volcanic terrain.
There were more birds there, a few trees (almost a forest) and a thin layer of vegetation.

Grete spotted a few hawks (not shure what kind) that hung in the air looking for preys...

Even got close to one sitting on a fensepost at the airport, that didn't mind being photographed

View from one of the Pico's showing the airport and out towards the west.
You should be able to see the main island, Madeira Grande in the horizon.

Our plan is to depart from Porto Santo on Wednesday towards Madeira Grande.
There are a couple of anchorages/marinas we might try - before we arrive in the main town of Funchal. Will write more later.  Cheers to you all !

PS. Have had regular contacts on 14.328 (shortwave radio) at 1700Z with Leif/LA3ZH and Alf/LA1ZM) But as there is lots of local noise in Porto Santo Marina I havn't heard anyone else
calling.
