Through the doldrums !

Villvind go south to meet the summer on the southern hemisphere!

On saturday Villvind leaves Cabo Verdes for Rio de Janeiro in Brasil. The distance to Rio is 2700 nm and will take aprox 3 weeks. Normally this is a straightforward sail appart from the doldrums where there are no wind at all.  However, topped tanks and jerrycans on deck will be sufficient  to take us through. Our position will be updated once a day and you can follow our track across to Rio.

We have enjoyed the stay at Cabo Verde and in particular the one day excursion on the island Santo Antao with its magnificent scenery.



Yesterday  a russian raft  sailed into the harbour. Beleave it or not,- its next destination is South America and Patagonia on its way around the word.


   
Have a nice october and dont forget to prepare for the winter. Today it's sunny and 32 +  in Mindelo !

All the best from Per Even, Eivind and Terje . Stay tuned !
