Arrived 08.11.2014 at Mindelo, Sao Vicente Island of the Cape Verde group. About to depart for the crossing to Barbados. We are anchored stern-to to the outer floating pontoon of the Marina Mindelo. Since we arrived a couple of small boats have anchored close to our bow...it should be fun getting out with the trade winds pushing from astern. The ARC+ boats are arriving now from the Canaries. The wind forecast is good for us if we get going...so off we go.
