It took us over 3 hours to shop
To prove we have had rain
Sunday morning cleaning
Scurvy avoidance
Man in a small space
This yacht is a bit bigger than ours….
In the next few hours we leave for the Cape Verde Islands. It’s over 800 miles so we think it’ll take us 6 or 7 days. It’s taken two and a half full days to get ready to depart. We have a plan to meet friends in Mindelo for New Year.
Other news is we have a tracking device which we’ve tried to upload a specific page on the website here which puts a dot onto a map as to where we are. But IT gremlins have been naughty and we haven’t managed to sort it yet. However, here is a link that you can click on.

Have a great Christmas all you lovely people out there. Thanks for looking at and reading our various rambling thoughts. Looking forward to writing more from the tropics.

I have been in Cabo Verde. I hope you learn some portuguese and listen to Cesaria Évora!
Merry Christmas!
