Pfew ! I think the whole Island of Sal shares one single DSL internet connection. To upload just a few pictures, it took me two or three hours. But hey ! Here they are:
Again – we had a WONDERFUL trip towards Cabo Verde. I really hope that the crossing of the Atlantic Ocean will be somewhat like this. In the meantime we’ve discovered a little of the island of Sal. A desert island without many attractions. A few hotels in the south and some of the best Kite-surf spaces around. But despite that you’ve got a few little villages connected via Aluguer (the local bus/taxi). You ride on the back of the pickup and let the warm wind caress your face. The people, the culture, the life – everything really is different from the other places we’ve visited so far. And we’re glad to have left Europe behind. Now it get’s interesting !
Yesterday in the evening our friend Wolfgang arrived at the airport and at one in the morning we interrupted our cockpit party to pick him up. So there we were. Tim and Klaus of the Kira myself and Karl, another sailor we’ve met here. Everybody a bit overexcited we dragged poor Wolfgang to the waiting Aluguer to get back to the ship. With the dinghy we rode towards the Rancho Relaxo lying at anchor with our new and beautiful LED-lightchain hanging from the mast top. Really beautiful. We had a great and funny evening and today in the morning we woke up, jumped into the water and had a nice breakfast.
More stories of Cabo Verde will follow – and also pictures. But now it’s time to turn off the Computer and focus on something more important. Four Caipirinhas were just delivered to our table…
