From Marina Mindelo, Cabo Verde on the island of Sao Vincente.  Monday morning, 11:30.  Bright and sunny, quite windy, interesting place.  Much more on that later. 

 

We pulled into the harbour at 7:00 am this morning, drove in a circle for several hours until Customs opened, got landed and tied up at the Marina.  The mechanics have inspected the rudder and estimated 3 to 4 days to repair.  Crew is tired but very happy to be ashore and a little down time will be very, very much appreciated.  We will all re-evaluate what happens next and keep you posted here.

 

Off to the hotel, a shower and bed (a real bed). 

 

Andy and Myles, Monday afternoon at 12:42 pm.
