Motor Sailing

11 January 2020

“Northeast, 4 to 6 Bft” is what I say when people ask me what to expect from the weather in Cape Verde. This is usually correct. But yesterday it was a bit more east and a bit stronger for our taste. We tried to do without the engine, but then we ended up sailing south, while we needed to head east to sail from São Nicolau to Boa Vista. Oh well then, we motor sail. Luckily we have the sun to accompany us.
