In Mindelo marina

Look what we found in Cabo Verde. A dismasted Imoca 60 which had to end the (Barcelona World) race because of it’s loss of the mast. What a big fucking thing, it is. Never seen these beasts IRL before. Must be such a tremendous, amazing adrenalin rush to fly over the ocean in one of these in 25-30 knots. Hoping to be able to try it out, one day. /T

Quick stop in Cabo Verde

We made a landfall in Mindelo last night to fill up the fuel tanks and to get some fresh oranges and other fruits and veggies. These island(s) seem to be a very interesting community with it's eclectic atmosphere, the colors, the music, the colonial history... everything feels intriguing and it is certainly a pity that we couldn't stay and explore it all some more. Maybe on our next turn around the world. But now we're more than ready to move on West again! /Taru
