Well the big day approaches tomorrow when we set off across the Atlantic on our 2100 mile journey to Barbados. Most of the provisions are now onboard just got to get a few bits and pieces tomorrow morning, get exit stamps on our passports, fuel and water up and set off around lunch time.
Mindelo's been a bit of an eye opener, it's not been the backwater shanty town I was led to believe although there is plenty of poverty on display the town is slowly dragging itself into the 21st century with big brand shops aplenty and clearly very affluent people dotted about. The people of very friendly and helpful and the general facilities are Ok.
Tonight me and Carole didn't fancy cooking so we've come ashore and grabbed a burger and chips for our tea. Phil is staying onboard keeping Lynne company because she's not feeling 100%. We'll go back soon and put on a DVD to watch and then it's early to bed ready for the busy morning tomorrow before we set off.
I'll try and keep a day by day log of our progress while we cross the Atlantic and post it on here once we get to the other side.
