After two days of hard competition the wind slowed down in the Bay of Porto Santo. The calm atmosphere was completed by blue sky and perfect sunshine.
After waiting for several hours the race committee finally decided to raise “AP” over “A” and cancelled the competition for today. Instead of racing with High-Tech Formula Windsurfing Equipment the organizing crew from the Club Overpower arranged an alternative program for the competitors. I cooperation with the nautical club of Porto Santo they organized a trip with an oldtimer ship that was used as ferry between Madeira and Porto Santo many years ago.
The competitors happily welcomed the chance to relax and to enjoy an alternative view on the small island that dominated their life this week. The ship enabled incredible views on the rocks that rise up to over 200 metres high and guard the island from the Atlantic Ocean.
