Xerric - From Las Palmas Gran Canaria to Mindelo Cabo Verde

At halftime after days with strong waves that felt like they came from all directions rocking the boat quite nicely: The crew were nevertheless happy and proved their fine teamwork by the first catch of the trip: Mahi-Mahi at its best. A large wave threatened to wash the crew and fish off stern but the catch was already safe. So in the evening nice Sashimi followed by a strong and powerful fish soup cheered and strengthened the "Xerricos" for the night in a fabulous way. The next day gave us two more Mahi-Mahi which immediately were turned into fried Fish with potatoes and fresh fish-salad. This helped well for the remaining miles to Mindelo, which were better than the first half but remained bumpy. Finally we had a great arrival in Mindelo Marina.
