> Arrived safely but tired in Cape Verde as the Auto Pilot packed up during the last 24 hours. Scoped out the frontier town that is Mindelo for supermarkets and fishing tackle shops as our gear went overboard as we were pulling in a monster catch.
> Rig inspection and Auto Pilot Service done Boat Cleaned, laundry done, all showered etc so not looking too salty right now. Food shopping and Auto Pilot Commissioning scheduled for tomorrow when we will likely set off across the pond to Grenada. Now we are enjoying a beer in the marina bar and browsing the menu for dinner.
> All the other boats seem to be Ocean crossers and its a lively community with lots of jobs being done and friendly neighbours.
