Winded Voyage 3 | Episode 64 | Dancing With The Devil
I'm waiting for a friend to join me on my travels south, so I'm stuck for a while longer here on La Palma island. And it's a great place to be. You'll see why when you meet some of my marina neighbors, go to my favorite little beach and... that's right, we'll be dancing with the Devil.

Two nights of music and dance. Beautiful people in a stunning stetting. And a intimate look into how the coming of the new year is celebrated. This is how we brought in 2024 in Mindelo, Cabo Verde.

It's grey and cloudy and I've got to deal with poor batteries not holding a charge and still put out a video, As well I help my dear friend Wendy move to her new humble home. And stumble onto a party at Peters's boat with a new Viking friend Henric. I finish off a few other projects and prepare to sail off.

Going up the Sao Vicente Canal in it's fury is when failure is not an option. I had to get to Mindelo Bay, and I did. Under sail only, a huge achievement for any blue water sailor. But then I had good reasons. I had people to meet and a gear box problem to fix. And when you immerse yourself in the country you sail to by learning the language and helping people,things just seem to go your way.

The lock down is finally over on the island of Sao Vicente in Cabo Verde Africa. But the wind keeps on blowing harder than ever. Boats get tossed around in Marina Mindelo but the staff and crew managed the crisis in Cape Verde fashion, no stress. And finally we get to sail. And it's just me and my best friend Peixe. We go in the Sao Vicente canal to test out Galopin and we get a reality check. Sailing around Sao Vicente is no joke and is for serious sailors, like me and Peixe. Mi ma Peixe as they say here. The lockdown is over the wind is not.

After a harrowing sail we settle into Tarrafal de Sao Nicolau. We clean up our boats do a little sightseeing of the town and go off on an excursion. Destination is Carbeirinho, stunning rock formations battered by the surf. There we venture into a secluded little cove dressed in black sand. It's a littlle tricky because we have to time the the swell to get into the cove. On the way back, my timing was off. A big wave crashed... and what happens next could spell the end of my journey. It may all end right here.

I'm in Tarrafal de Santiago. Cabo Verde's most populated island. To me it's one of the most interesting of the archipelago. It's got rugged mountains, golden beaches and is home to Praia, the capital city. And the people here are wonderful. My friend Giani joins me as we hope to sail to Senegal together. But we stay here a few days. And we meet people! Sailing, it's about making friends and meeting great people. I'm 60 & sailing in Cabo Verde, Africa.

Living full time aboard my sailboat can be a lot of fun and a lot of work. Join me as I undertake many boat repair projects since my return from Dakar Senegal. As well you can partake in some of the fun and pleasure of living in the city Mindelo in Cabo Verde.

I came to Switzerland with the bare minimum. I was coming to get hip replacement surgery and then would need to stay and recover. Part of my speedy recovery would be to walk. So I end up doing the Alps in boat shoes. That meant walking around the alps with the only shoes I brought.

It seems here that as soon as one celebration ends, another begins. We just got over the holidays and here comes Mardi Gras. Wendy came with not one sister but two. And this guy? That’s Vlaus. A friend I’ve known from when I first came here. He’s dressed as a Mandiga warrior. It’s a tradition here that links Cape Verdean’s to their ancestral African roots. He looks mean, but he’s not. Then I get to the bottom of my autopilot issue.
