A little more Claudier...but no Schiffer

Tuesday - a cloudier day than we've been used to, although still lovely and warm. We decided to take a boat trip in the afternoon on the "Sea-Born" catamaran. A 3-hour trip, which guaranteed the "...sighting of sea-life". Well, as we waited on the side of the Marina, beofre boarding the boat, someone threw a small piece of bread into the sea, and a small feeding frenzy ensued as a small shoal of small fish tried to devour the food. Given that even these fish would be classified as "sea-life", I guess we couldn't now claim under the guarantee whether or not we saw anything else on out trip! (Damn clever these Madeirans!! - See also "When is a drain not a drain...? - When it's a "levada"!")

However, we were not to be disappointed as we saw three separate sightings of dolphins, one sea turtle and some (although not us) claim to have seen a Beluga whale. We then anchored off Cabo Girao - the 2nd/3rd highest (there is some dispute between Madeira and Norway as to whose is highest in Europe) sea cliff in the world, where we stopped for 20 minutes to have a swim in the sea, before returning to our hotel and another (and last) meal in our favourite restaurant...
