Walking The Streets Of Dakar To Find Solutions | Meeting People Going Places | Season 6 | Episode 8
#sailing #solosailing #offgrid I needed to upgrade my solar energy system so I set off walking the streets of Dakar alone to find a store named Solar Solutions. I walked throughout the city alone for more than four hours. I wanted to save money on taxis and time because the streets are clogged with traffic. I met many good people on my pedestrian travels like Alphonse the jeweler, Fatou who offered me new new refreshing drink and Pape at Solar Solutions.

I noticed that part of my boom was in bad shape, broken. But Ricardo knew someone whom he was certain could fix my part. That's right, here they fix your busted part rather than replace. It's the African way, as opposed to what we're used to in the industrial world. Just buy new. And here a man I will call The Welding Wizard, real name Milton fixed my busted cast aluminium part and made three stainless steel pins. My boom is not going to fall off! I love this just do it spirit. No complaining, no worriers, no stress. The Cape Verdean way.

Covid test passed and documents on hand, we sail out of on a brisk 20kts downwind to the island of Santiago. Heading to the capital of Cape Verde, Praia. We dock at the fishing pier and are now living with the fishermen. It's not a marina or fancy yacht club. We visit the city's streets, markets and shops. Praia is a cool city! Then we continue our journey to the oldest colonial establishment in Sub-Sahara Africa.

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.

To be or not to be sailing. The answer was simple. Get the boat ready and go out sailing to make sure the rigging was set up right. We also got a good taste of Port Leucate and did a few projects. Mickey oiled the teak and I secured the roof dodger snap-on tacks.

We had a good weather forecast for the next 4 to 5 days. So we left Tangier Morocco out into the Atlantic to the Canary Island about 600 nautical miles south. It was quite a change from the Mediterranean. Big soft rolling waves, steady wind and lots of sunshine. If it wasn’t for some engine troubles, it was almost boring.

So I met a German sailor who said I had a bad reputation. I was intrigued and surprised by his answer. Meanwhile, Wendy, Lori and I went about on our adventures on the island of Santa Antao.

#sailing #dentist #sailinglifestyle
Life in Cabo Verde, West Africa has been treating me pretty well. I live on my boat in the bay, basically in the city center. I have access to most of my needs. I even had hernia surgery here recently. I learned its very unique language and because of that made lots of friends. Men and women from fishermen, rappers, cops and even gangsters. And recently Stalin. Stalin is a dentist. I couldn’t believe he was a dentist a first. I profiled him as a badass latino gangster. Nicknamed The Dentist. Boy was I wrong. But why become a dentist? He genuinely cares about his people. And the importance of oral hygiene.

There are several shipwrecks in Mindelo Bay. One is partially submerged so we tied our dinghy on to it and explored the wreck top and bottom. But before we set to explore Mindelo Bay, one morning I wake up and everything is turned around. I have to do something about it. As well we give Galopin an underwater shave. He started to look like a hobo.

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.
