Some Pictures of the Passage and Cape Verdes

Stargazer of Southampton

Susie and Adam (both think they are skipper)

Wed 22 Dec 2010 13:14

We have found some internet so here's some pics of the voyage across and Verde Islands. . . . .

Adam doing a Kate Winslet just before seeing a whale 200 miles from Verde islands

Sunrise over the Verde Islands at dawn the day we arrived - the orange of the sky was stunning

My favourite Sunrise picture - Verde Islands again the sky was amazing

Home made flag action as we approach Mindelo

Strange little island with a fort on top in the entrance to Mindelo Harbour

View to Mindelo from where we're anchored
