After dawn,made a jibe and now on the way going to west and after running in six hours, I will make Gybe to south once more.
Last day, I passed through Madeira islands, I looked that islands clearly and its night view was very beautiful.
I remember that just I married, former my main sponsor's head invited me and my wife for their study trip in Madeira. Just now, that company is not be here,but I remember its employees all were young and had excellence. I'm deeply appreciate for him, it was fun.
I and wife spent 16 years after a marriage.This race is my third voyage around the world after my marriage. I think I couldn't do everthing without my wife's supports. I express my deep gratitude for my wife, there are no words except thanks. Probably, house keeping and taking care of a child are very tough works. I felt impatient with my no contribution for her. I and my family are happy and due to many good friends, and they gave many supports to not only me but also my family too. As looking at Madeira Islands, I felt that it was tremendous for me to reach this position well and sincerely give my thanks to my wife.
Kojiro.
