Stopover Cape Verde

29 January 2016

While on our way to cross the Atlantic, with the northeastern wind blowing us in the right direction, the unexpected happened. One of our trainees slips on deck and falls down hard. To be sure we decided to immediately go to Mindelo (São Vicente, Cape Verde) to visit the hospital. 
We arrived here yesterday and unfortunately, after Wil’s visit to the doctor, her trip will end here.  We wish her of course all the best and a very speedy recovery!
Today the group is going on an excursion on Santo Antão, for the beautiful hike on the old vulcano. The crew know that route very well. Tonight everyone will return tired but excited. Tomorrow morning we will heave anchor and cross. Caribbean, here we come!
