30 Nov - Porto Grande

As we were sort of passing, we pulled into Mindelo Marina in Porto Grande in the Cape Verde Islands for more fuel. On the way in we spoke to a couple of other ARC yachts who gave us information on how/where to get fuel after hours. That sort of friendship has proven commen with our contact with other ARC yachts all along the way. It was only a short stop as we were on our way within a few hours having taken to chance to have dinner together.

 

This afternoon Ben decided to do some deck cleaning. To be fair the decks needed a clean. The trouble was that with some of the hatches open there was a certain "ingress" of water into one of the aft cabins meaning an early bath for a couple of sleeping bags. Oops! Philip was a close call from asking for the Mr Grumpy T-shirt
