the big passage

it's the evening before a big adventure is about to happen. last preparations have been made and the last doubts have been erased.
we are sitting in a beautiful open bar enjoying the last breath of land and civilisation.
what has been so far away some weeks ago is now present and it feels great.
tomorrow we will start to face the sea for the longest time so far.
the distanced has become easier to imagine since the passage from the canaries to this place, it's a bit more than two times it.

we'll do our best to live a comfortable life out on sea, today we bought a lot of fruit and veggies, at least the first week will be a healthy one...

if the winds stay steady it will probably take us two to three weeks to reaach barbados, otherwise it might take a little longer... but we have food and water for probably three months so this would be no problem.

you'll hear from us when we arrive,
so long!

sao vicente, cabo verde

hello folks!

on saturday we arrived at sao vicente to be precise mindelo.

it was a long but relaxing passage, we hope the crossing will be like it. we caught a lot of fish so we could eat very well.

the island is charming, the first time a caribbean feeling.

we met up with some swedish and norwegian friends and are having a great time.

on saturday we plan to leave for the big passage, the boat and we are ready for it (we think).

we'll try to give another report on friday but don't be mad on us if we don't succeed, we have a lot of things in our heads, especially enjoying...

otherwise you'll hear from us once we're in barbados or bequia.
don't worry if you hear nothing from us for a while, we expect some 3 to 4 weeks out on see.

sorry for there are no pictures,

there's a technical problem...

greets
