It’s been a full year since I first landed here in Mindelo, Cape Verde. And it’s taken me this long to discover some of the best spots and most interesting people. It’s also Natacha’s one year anniversary, and she makes a splashing comeback. While she was away, I did not stay aboard longing for my friend, I went and made new friends who introduced me to the most entertaining bistro bar in town called La Bodeguita de Mindelo. As well we discovered some more hidden coves with Peixe and company just a few miles away from Mindelo Bay. For those sailors who just stop here a few days before crossing the Atlantic, they sure missed the best night & day spots in Mindelo worth discovering.
