First landfall o'er the Eastern Horizon

   Thanks to John Woram, author of the wonderful story of Tierra del Fuego, "Here Be Giants", I can share this GPS mapping by Google Earth of Funchal, Madeira, Portugal.

Honestly, I won't believe it, 'til I see it after a week at sea. (You may need to upload "Google Earth" free software to sail in closer, but try clicking the picture. See you there around the 10th of April )!
