We are nearing the end of our journey from Arrecife on Lanzarote island to Santa Cruz de Tenerife on Tenerife island. Leaving Puerto Megan on the southern side of Gran Canaria island, we were sheltered by the prevailing northern winds. I was warned of the acceleration zones between the islands, and with one reef in both sails I thought we were ready for what we are heading into. Boy was I wrong. The wind and waves hit us hard. Galopin was healing hard. It was the first time Seb said "Dad, I'm really scared here". We quickly took another reef and then a third and last reef and had the boat under control. But the waves were still battering us as we had to got upwind for several hours before we could begin to cross over to Tenerife overnight. It was the roughest sail we'd had together so far, no bullshit sailing.

Another wave of Covid washes over Europe. Portugal tightens its rules. All travelers must be Covid negative and prove it with tightly secured documentation. Traveling during Covid times sucks! This is how I got from Europe to Cape Verde Africa and back to my boat Galopin. Some say it’s The Best Sailing Channel on YouTube! Agree or disagree, make your voice heard.

So far seven out of ten Cape Verdean islands I've sailed to and anchored, this may be the best spot to anchor. Santiago island is he largest of all the archipelago. There is much to see, and in this episode we see some more like the city of Assomada and then Cidada Velha, where I consider one of the best anchorages in Cape Verde. #bestanchorage #pirates #history Some say it’s The Best Sailing Channel on YouTube!
