Come along for a 6-day offshore passage as we sail between the mid-Atlantic islands of Gran Canaria, Canary Islands and Saõ Vicente in the Cape Verde islands, passing the Sahara Desert as we go. We are joined by crew members, Keith and Stephan, and have light wind conditions, which is common along this route. Keith takes advantage of the calm weather to cook up a storm in the galley using our new electric oven. Dolphins play at our bow. Landfall in Cape Verde is magical and we get a berth at the Mindelo Marina so we can refuel and top up our provisions before we set sail to cross the Atlantic Ocean...
