Living The Dream

At anchor in windy Mindelo

29 December 2015
We arrived safely on Sunday 27th at 3pm and decided to anchor in the bay, rather than go into the marina, to catch up on some rest. There are around 25 other boats at anchor here too. It's now Tuesday and we haven't been able to go ashore yet because it is so windy that getting the dinghy off and going against the wind is just too difficult. Last night we had 43kts of wind at one point but mostly it is around 25kts.

Will update again when we make it ashore.
