FINALLY THE WIND ALLOWS US TO LEAVE SANDY PALMEIRA!
Carrying  kilos and kilos of sand we are leaving for sailing towards MINDELO IN THE ISLAND OF SAN VICENTE. If we like some island on the way we will stop, if not- directly to Mindelo. Little by little.
Our friends Adrian and Christof from sailboat boat VOYAGE left towards Tobago today ...and soon we will start our trip across Atlantic too.

Picture
But now we have one crew member more. And its nots a cat:) We have our friend Manu on board. Long time ago he was dreaming to cross Atlantic,  so  now  with Grain de Sable he will have opportunity to do it:) For us its a pleasure to have him on board.  Manu  has his own boat too, so it will be nice to have one more experienced sailor with us.

Manu also has a cat, so Bimbache has one more admirer:)
About Palmeira there is not too much more to write. Its a place which you have to experience by your self...and all the island as well.  Somehow its the best example that not the place but the people are imprtant.

After so many days spend on anchor here  we walked in the vilage as if we were living here. ..lost between sand and wind, but happy.
 
Some days we were staying in Palmeira, others riding by local bus to the south, Santa Maria or  Espargos, capital of the island. Distances here are so short that you can go to other town just for an ice cream . We tried local food , local drinks and local fish as well. Eating outside is so cheap here that its cheaper to eat in the restaurant than to buy food and cook it on boat. Our favourite place is restaurant LAS SALINAS in Espargos. For just 2,5e you get full plate of fresh fish with rice and fried potatoes or chicken. More than enough. Not for everyday, but sometimes we can permit it:)

But it came  time to leave. .

We leave you with more photos....and we go to lift the anchor.
