Somewhere north of the coast of the windward Cape Verde islands, me and my boat Galopin are averaging 7kts speed. My best sailing yet. It's all about trimming sails and wind angle as we barrel over the Atlantic. Two old timer sailors taking on the great ocean and taking in the favorable conditions. I'm 60 and sailing in Cabo Verde Africa. Some say it’s The Best Sailing Channel on YouTube! Agree or disagree, make your voice heard. Subscribe, like, dislike, or comment.

The Salinas de Pedra de Lume is now a tourist attraction where people bathe and float is the densely salted pools like in the Dead Sea. We spend a day there and Nat becomes the Ice Queen or Salted nut? Exploring the salt ponds of Pedra De Lume is a lot of fun as you will see. The island is called Sal because of it's salt production which used to be very lucrative. They called it the White Gold. It's no longer the case today. The infrastructure is abandoned but the salt ponds are still there and salt is still harvested. As well there are mud pools so we get wicked salty and really dirty. We clean our act up and actually do some sailing to the next anchorage in our quest to circumnavigate the island. Aleader Watershoes or water shoes are the best shoes ever for land & water.That's just my opinion. But I mean it! Order them here with a discount.
