After a long journey up the African coast, Dakar serves as the final stop to tackle a critical repair on Galopin: a broken genoa furler. Watch as local experts Diallo, Pape, and Mam climb the mast to swap out the damaged equipment with a salvaged part from a sunken yacht, turning a potential disaster into a surprising upgrade. Between the hard work, I explore the local scene at Chez Paco, catch up with friends, and dive into the madness of the World Cup. From Cabo Verde’s historic shutout against Spain to a raclette dinner at the Swiss Ambassador’s residence in Dakar, this episode proves that nothing is impossible in Senegal. The episode features mast climbing and genoa furler replacement, an artistic gift for the Yacht Club, sunset drinks with friends at Chez Paco, World Cup upsets including Cabo Verde versus Spain and Senegal’s match, and finally raclette at the Ambassador’s residence.
