we brought a new yacht


Recommended Posts

now in Cape Verde islands, Mindelo, nice town/city, industrial port but nice people and friendly/ very tidy. anchored out with good holding for a few days but into marina tomorrrow for stock up and then setting off over Atlantic. took 5.5 days from Canaries to here, 900nm easy down wind sailing with about a day of motoring in the middle. slowed down to 5 knots on last night to arrive in daylight as there are many sunken fishing hulks/vessels in the bay to avoid.

hello, we have crossed the Atlantic, now in Barbados. 14 days and 2100nm, plenty of mahi and tuna caught. slowed on the last 4 days for light winds and motoring.

all downwind sailing, in 15-20 knots though wind has been 30kn and rough for our friends still out on their last days on crossing.

where to next ???

Well done and congrats on the transatlantic!

Everyone I’ve met on a world cruise has said the Med and the S Pac ate the best bits so don’t hesitate the Panama.

But Black Panther has intimate knowledge of the Dominic Republic and the general area you’re in so he might drop a golden nugget suggestion.
