2123 miles to Martinique.

We spent our last night at anchor in Praia, Ilha de Santiago listening to an open air concert we could hear blaring out from a stadium above us on the plateau. Most of it was OK!

Left at first light and washed the decks to remove all the sand and dirt. Needn’t have bothered the wind acceleration zone between Santiago and Fogo redid the job and gotus unawares in the cockpit as well.

We were able to read all the emails in Praia. Many thanks for all your messages and comments/recipes on the blog. We will reply when we get to Martinique.
