Salvador to Cape Verde take two hopfully with pictures.

The
last night in
Our
departure for Saturday morning, there was a good chance that the town would be
lively Friday night And
all we had to do was find the source of the music. So we got a taxi from the
marina to the central policed Sector of town had a bit of local food, then found a
local bar where the music was playing and all of the customers where local, half
of whom were already dancing to the beat of Samba. The bars are also
Samba Clubs
so will have a number of bands that use that bar as their local practice and gig
venue the Music is Great
and the Dancing is superb, I know that Jacky would have loved it. Just in front of our table there
was A group
of people one of whom recognised us from the Them
and were trying to teach us the moves on the floor, No chance with me but Niamh
was a little better. The
rest of the night was spent in their company despite our very poor ability to
communicate, but we Could
still all enjoy the music and atmosphere.
At about 12.30 they were all ready to go on to the
Night
clubs, but we were far to sad and boring and said our goodbyes and headed back
to the marina, after All
we had to be up early to fuel up and get on our way we had another 1900 miles to
Cape Verdes with the Wind
likely to be coming from bad angles and either to strong or to light, back once
more to the pleasures Of
sailing Close to and over the
Equator ![]() Nazare street market and Easter
festival
![]() Markets over time to go
Home
![]() colourful street
nightlife in
![]() We
are at present just north of the Equator so far we have managed to do 800 miles
in one week that is about 115
in every 24hours so as you can imagine things are pretty slow around here for
now. So that is why the web diary
is being done. The engine is on and
has been running for the last 24hours, We caught 2 good sized dorado this
morning I have also done my laundry for this week, so no more fishing for a
while, I have just read the
book 1421 in about 2 ½ days, so what the hell am I going to do for the next 8 or
9 days. One thing
that does
effect things is that this passage we are sailing with just 2 person that means
that our chance for good sleep
at night is less and we probably only get 5 hours sleep a night so the afternoon
siesta is becoming very popular
a whole new way of life is dawning.
That’s all from the middle of the to
read, Maybe Wilbur Smith as we are about to go back into
so
lots of new experiences to look forward to.
