- From El Hierro I sail 836 NM to Mindelo, Cape Verde in 7,5 days. It feels like I am on the trade winds. I have a very good speed. At the end 6 to 6,5 even sometimes over 7 knots. And I have to slow the boat down, to prevent from arriving in the middle of the night.

Thanks for your lovely comment. I loved staying in Cape Verde. Looking forward to all your lovely comments.

Delightful video Amiga!!
Fantastic, thanks for sharing.

Gaat goed. Fijn om te zien dat je ervan geniet.
Dank je!
Ik zou de Genua niet op de voetrail varen. Hij is al een keer losgekomen meen te hebben gezien omdat hij "geparkert " is. De binnenste rail is neem ik aan door en door gebout en dus vele malen sterker. Als je wilt dat de Genua beter staat kun je hem beter uitbomen
Ja goed punt. De Genua rail is inderdaad door en door. Uitbomen vind ik te gevaarlijk en te intensief
Good tip on making the Windpilot vane more upright in the light stuff. While watching this I was thinking it would be a good idea to pole out the headsail. No doubt you've worked out a solution to this by now as I am a few months behind in my viewing, but apart from making the boat sail a lot more efficiently (and safer) downwind it will save a hell of a lot of wear and tear on your sail. If your spinnaker pole is too heavy a lighter and slightly shorter whisker pole might be a solution. Cheers.
Thanks. That is still on my mind
Very nice. Thoughts. Yesterday I was on my boat and playing with the new mainsail reefing it in combination with the topping lift really worked well to make the reffing system work well. I will be adding a Cunningham to help pull the main down. My sequence was releasing the tension on the vang then lowering to the cringle Add some tension and cleat the main halyard then adjust the topping lift to raise the boom to meet the leech. then the reefing lines pulled the sail right down to the boom Much simpler and neater. then tighten the vang. I am experimenting with a boom brake instead of the preventer. So far I'm very satisfied. I also lead my jib sheets to the outer track . I'm on San Francisco Bay Yesterday was perfect winds 15 with some gusts to 28 I tried some Jibes to test the boom brake. again very satisfied the boom just slowly rolled across with no drama. Moondancer Ericson 38 . I'm using a climbing rig for the boom brake.
Hi Enrique. Thanks for sharing your thoughts and experience.
Have a nice time in Cabo Verde , henk
Dank je Henk!
Nice video
Dank je Mark
Predict wind is clever. It uses lots of data to create the route. If you wish to reduce the file size then make the resolution of the grib less. This will not reduce the route accuracy. Try to keep the route till finish as it will keep you out of trouble in case a real storm is coming.
Very nice of you to share!
Weer een leuk reisverslag, Happy person on the boat 😃. Lekkere douche, is het water "warm" of "koud". En hoe doe je de was van je kleding, opsparen voor de volgende haven? Safe trip to your next destination.
Dank je Linda. Het water is lekker warm. De was spaar ik inderdaad op tot de volgende haven. Leuk trouwens jouw vragen!
Very good video.
Thanks!
Perhaps a whisker pole is all you need to control the genoa and stop the sail returning over the centre line as the boat rolls. A whisker pole is a very light pole which does not need any rigging.
That sounds like a very good idea! Thanks
Poeh respect hoor.
Dank je!
🇹🇷🇹🇷👍👍
Thank you!

Hi Peter. I am in Bonaire now. The editing takes a lot of hours. And I go to a lot of places. So my videos are always online when I am in another place. If you want to follow me live, I have a predictwind tracker and polarsteps
You are the first woman I see bathing in clothes.
You in grenada already.Not showing anymore dont make your friends on youtube iam afraid🤔
Hi Peter. I am in Panama now.
I like your dress and prefer the bikini to the swimming costume. Im sure you have adapted some system to get the salt out of your hair. Brrrr,,,the cold water does not bother you.
