Clyde Challenger - Thank You Cape Verde



After crossing the finish line of leg one in the ARC+ on 12th November 10.54 local time the crew had covered a total of 1087Nm. Refuelling than mooring at our berth is was time to head ashore for a much needed shower.

Some crew members choose a few nights in a hotel to chill out before the next leg of the passage (Jealous - didn't think of that!).

Most of the crew had booked to go on the day tour on the Monday to one of the other islands while the others did the half day tour of St Vincent Island, both enjoying stunning views. A visit to the beautiful white beach, created by sand blown over from the Sahara Desert finished the day off nicely.

With some Atlantic paddling, sampling of local food and drink and a lesson in how the locals manage water the team had time to enjoy some more of these amazing islands. The poverty on the Island is unbelievable and we really appreciated what we have in our own countries after seeing and hearing what the islanders have to contend with.

On the last night before leaving we had a crew dinner out and returned to the boat for an early night before our next leg to Saint Lucia. Crew were then up early for their last shower before leaving for Saint Lucia. Once the boat was prepared for the off we headed to the start line and crossed just seconds after the 13.00 start.
