Cape Verde is a relatively poor country, but it's rich in music. Wealthy in friendliness and loaded with beauty. Natacha made friends with Sarah, a French compatriot from their home port of Marseille. And she introduced us to Anton and Oswald who took us o...
Sometimes good times get the better of us. But not during our passage to Santiago Island. We waited for the right conditions and the wait paid off. Beautiful conditions for the three of us to reflect that f good times in Mindelo. Once anchored in Tarrafal ...

It's something that can happen to any sailor. This is the story of Jurgen, German solo sailor who left his boat at anchor for a couple of hours only to come back and find his boat had disappeared. A few moments later he received a call and was told his boa...
Alex Thompson and his Hugo Boss sailboat is in the house. Here in Cape Verde, sailors in need come to Mindelo indeed. Having hit something during the Jacques Favre Transat race, the Hugo Boss vessel lost its keel and Alex Thompson was forced to abandon th...
I recently met Eduardo who makes up the amazing whale research project in Mindelo, Cape Verde. Since then he's done a survey of locations at all the islands of Cape Verde where there is cetacean activity. We met again later in Mindelo and he showed me some...
This island is really something. Me and Nat had come here a few months ago, but did not visit the interior of the island because there was the "Bruma Seca". The Dry Fog. It's when the air is heavy with Sahara sand and the visibility is none. But this time ...
Engine failure while entering a bay full of rocks during a storm. Its not all plane sailing for the Old Seadog.

Solo sailing can sometimes be lonely. Not for me. I got my friend Galopin to talk to. Being French, he's not at a loss for words. So we banter then turn on the music and enjoy a wonderful sail downwind to Boavista island. Number six of the ten islands of t...
The star attractions of the island are its beaches. We land the dinghy and explore the beach at the southern most point of the island. Made of angel blond sand and turquoise water, the beach stretches out endlessly. Plus there is hardly anyone around. Nat ...
Just outside of the port of Palmeira on the island of Sal is a zone of magnetic anomaly. But what is the effect of magnetic anomaly? That depends on who. In Natacha's case it seems to make her happy and dance. On the locals, they are all happy and smiley. ...
Falling asleep at the helm is not like falling asleep at the wheel. We did and went off course and not off a cliff. Nat was hungover and I was tired from basically solo sailing most of the day. Which started good, than got hard because of poor judgement an...
We have visited 4 out of 10 Cape Verde islands. And now we're preparing the boat to sail out Mindelo Bay. Next is the eastern most island called Sal. After about 7 months here, Galopin has grown quite a bit of undergrowth on its hull and it must be cleaned...
For seasoned sailors the answer is obvious. As well for arm chair sailors. But we begin this episode with a pretty lousy day at anchor. Which is a consistent 35kts of wind for most of the day hoping your boat won't drag. (My friend Tito's does). But we've ...
It seems many of the places to anchor in the Northern islands of Cape Verde are said to be rough. With real experience, I can say it all depends on the wind and waves. And if you brave the conditions, you will discover anchorages that let you discover real...
(UPDATE: SAM MADE IT SAFE AND SOUND TO HILO!)
Hello Friends!
This is a special episode where I interview my friend and marina neighbor Sam Holmes who, by the time this was uploaded, departed for Hawaii in his Ranger 23 named "Swedish Fish"
Our regular ...
There's a lot of fear of pirates on the high seas. They do exists, and this episode will prove it. You will meet Tito, a "Conojero" from Lanzarote Island in the Canaries. You'll also meet a couple of young pirates from Argentina, as well as a straight shoo...
Natacha and I take to the sea for some Cape Verdean island hopping. And it's time Natacha starts to learn more about sailing Galoipin so the sexy sailor girl takes the helm. And she takes it well. All the way to Tarafal de Santa Antao. There we visit a Gro...
We're going back to rescue the lost drone with help. Not just any help, but the crew from Bela Vista. All Cape Verdean! And yes, all black when we include Nat. So far I've never seen an all black crew on a sailing yacht. And passing yachties rarely take lo...
What is a Mandingo? Fierce African warriors and in Cape Verde also great sailors. We set off with a crew of Cape Verdeans. It was great to have them aboard as they know the local waters. That's probably why we caught a big Mahi Mahi. Peixe was my go to guy...
Words are hard to find to describe the island of Santa Antao, Cape Verde. And the trails that people have used to get around the island are nothing less that stunning. We follow a walking path around the rugged coastline for more than six hours. From the t...
A bunch of young city folks go camping on a deserted beach. No it's not a pitch for a scary movie. It's what many Cape Verdean do on weekends. My dear friend Peixe invites us to share this experience. And it's quite a special time eating, swimming, fishing...
I'm no Anthony Bourdain, but this episode has some of his style because it is about discovering Cape Verde through food, drink, music and its people. My journey is about discovery. And here we discover a side of Cape Verde that is real. Some may say this i...
