Second Wind - An unscheduled stop



As dawn broke this morning we found ourselves gently motoring into the beautiful approaches to the marina at Mindelo.  We were accompanied by a large pod of dolphins shadowing our relaxed pace and a number of other arc boats who had also a been waiting for daylight to make their final approach. The visit here is an unexpected pleasure,  mainly driven by the need to replace the full tank of diesel used in the "sail" down here, but it is great to see the place and its culture. A visit to a roadside market to purchase some used plastic containers (so we can carry even more diesel) seemed a very satisfactory trade for both parties. Tomorrow we will hit the road again in the expectation of more light winds for a couple of days but we need to press on if we are to avoid missing all of the celebrations at St Lucia.
