Health/emotions: Tired and worn, but the risk of missing Madeira too made it difficult to rest completely. Still, we managed to get some good sleep.

Description of the day

Strong wind and waves are still making it impossible to row, so we are drifting northwest with no chance to do anything about it. The weather forecast says this wind will stay with us at least for the rest of this week, so landing in Madeira will definitely be challenging and possibly dangerous. Heavy rain during the afternoon, waves still crash over the boat.

Continuous noise from shipping and other human activities can cause disturbance of important behaviours and cause stress. It can also mask important sounds, decreasing the range at which a mother and a calf for example can hear each other, or making it difficult to find a mating partner.
