On galley duty today.
We arrived at Sel Island in the Cape Verde islands around 9:30 this morning and anchored beside the
Alexandre Humbolt, she of the green sails. The Captain has gone ashore to clear in and if he gets back in
time we will up anchor and head for Bona Vista (sic) rather than stay here.
Sel is very dry and dusty looking with at least 3 volcanic cones looming up in the haze. Apparently Boa
Vista is nicer and has a nicer anchorage as well.
The Captain returned but says that we won’t have time to get to Boa Vista today so we will head out early tomorrow morning. All hands are to be awoken at 6:00am to get underway shortly thereafter. It is only
about 36 miles to Boa Vista so we should get there by 10:00 or so.
The Starboard watch went ashore and from the reports of those I’ve talked to since there isn’t much to see
or do here on Sel. Not even any Internet, although Corey did mention he saw an Internet Cafe that looked
more like someone’s living room than a business.
Not sure when you will get to see this, if there isn’t any Internet here you might not see this till we get to
Grenada!
Thanks for reading.
