Finally reaching the Caribbean

Goodbye Mindelo
We started out from Mindelo with winds from north east,25- 35Kt, and made good speed towards Barbados, our goal. The first week we had about 5 meter swell, which made life under deck terribly uncomfortable; you had to grab to anything just to prevent you from being thrown into the opposite side and get smashed. The sea calmed down eventually, and made life a little more comfortable. It was warmer, sunnier and we were able to do simple cooking.
