Yesterday my friend flew back to the Netherlands. Now I am alone again for the next three weeks with 2200 nautical miles [2532 land miles; 4074 kilometres] to go until Sint Maarten. I now have a nice crosswind and I am sailing along the last two Cape Verde Islands. It is still nice and warm here and I will try to make a meal soon. In relation to the
wind the waves are very big, coming sideways, so the boat is rocking pretty much. However, unlike the last time, I now have cleared away all the loose things (yes, I have learned…), so they don’t fly around in the boat anymore. Unfortunately, I will not be able to add photos to my Weblog for the next three weeks but I will do it in one bundle when I am in Sint Maarten.
