Lurer på om det må bli et morgenbad? 😛

Snart går vi videre østover mot Sao Luzia og Sao Nicolau

Ut på tur – aldri sur!

The Skipper wishes to thank Wim, Carl and Justin for a great and enjoyable 830 nautical miles passage from Las Galletas to Mindelo in just 4 days and 20 hours! Winds were constantly gusting between 20 and 36 knots from NE. Eskalope handled everything with all the grace of an old lady. And this Lady is not for turning! 🙂The Chef and the Master makes sure that we have all the food we need. We had to pull in this skipjack tuna with nothing but our bare hands and a gaff. The line got tangled up in the wind generator!

 Eager to get out of the harbour in Las Galletas..  Lone had to stay behind in Los Cristianos. Just done with her paint job! …while Chef gets his hands all bloody making fresh sashami! Among our visitors were flying squid……as well as flying fish who hid in the cutter sail!

Siste natt med gjengen i Mindelo!
Wim flyr nemlig videre mot Sal i morgen, samtidig ankommer Lone og Jungmann i løpet av natten.
Vi koser oss, og nyter alle inntrykk!

Reached Cape Verde after four days and 20 hours of sailing. Averaging 7 knots, but setting new 24 h records. Updates will follow!

Carl, Justin, Wim and Prarne, all ready for the next 750 miles in the open sea!

The last supper in Tenerife prepared by Justin. Looks fantastic! 🙂

Snart går turen videre mot Kapp Verde. Alskens utsatte vedlikeholdsprosjekter må plutselig realiseres! Nå er mast til vindmølle sveiset og montert, venter bare på selve mølla og elektrisk tilkobling. Men lista stopper ikke der!
Bare å stå på nå! :$

Nesten ferdig! Nå mangler det bare å få litt orden på ledningene…

We docked in Marina del Sur for the 2nd time this year after crazy waveriding from La Gomera, gusting up to 40 knots! (Weatherman said max 15. I’ll kill that cat!)
We are well tied up, as the worst is yet to come according to forecast. Up to 70 knots is mentioned. All kinds of commotion going on in the marina, though!
Video will be uploaded soon!
