São Vicente and São Nicolau

20 January 2013

The sailing voyage to Mindelo on São Vicente went very well, except for the tear in the schooner sail (while setting sail). Luckily the harbor master in Mindelo is also a part time sail maker, so before leaving Mindelo we had the repaired sail back on deck. Meanwhile our guests have visited São Vicente and Santo Antão, the island across Mindelo. As in the other voyages we made the beautiful walk on the vulcano and a green valley with many palm trees, banana trees, sugar cane and coffee. Meanwhile we have sailed on towards the next island, in the bay of Tarrafal on São Nicolau.
