Start of the voyage

7 March 2017

After two days of lovely sailing we were back at Mindelo. Our first stop was São Nicolau, where we toured on the island and barbecued at night. Today we sailed south of Raso, Branco and Santa Luzia to São Vicente. We wanted to steer as high as possible to reach the north of São Vicente, but we needed the engine unfortunately.
Once we reached the island, we could set the last bit of sails and turn off the engine. 
The plan was to follow the coast and enter the bay of Mindelo with a big turn, but the wind was so nice that we decided to sail a bit further. We sailed to Santo Antão to show everyone where the excursion will go to tomorrow and then jibbed to go to Porto Grande.
