Oracle1 21 Posted January 19, 2020 Author Share Posted January 19, 2020 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.

Fogg 427 Posted February 8, 2020 Share Posted February 8, 2020 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. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
