Latitude 16 53’N ; longitude 24 59W Wednesday 23 November 2022, day 8

14.30 arrived and safely moored bow to the pontoon in Mindelo Marina, Sao Vicent, Cape Verde. Last few miles and our mooring were exciting though!! Wind increased dramatically through the acceleration zone between the islands from a steady 16knots to about 30 knots!!! But we are in, safe, boat put to bed… and breath.
