24 March - 04 April 2019

Sailing in Cape Verde – last trip of the season. This marvelous journey will start and end on Sal Island, and bring you to a number of different places in Cape Verde. You will have the chance to discover popular spots and remote areas of the archipelago; enjoy its culture, wildlife and landscapes. Spend the days visiting the islands or sailing between them, and the nights safely anchored – with the exceptions of the few overnight passages. With spring coming fast, this is your last chance to join one of the Oosterschelde’s most popular trips before the Ship sails north for the summer. You can choose to explore on your own, or join the organised excursions for additional fee (approx. € 140 in total, depending on the number of participants). Open for all Windseekers, minimum age 15 years.

Ports

Sal is one of the three sandy eastern islands of the Cape Verde archipelago, together with Boa Vista and Maio. The island is a dream destination for windsurfing enthusiasts, due to its sandy beaches and persistent winds. Tourism is on the rise in Cape Verde, but outside of the beach resort of Santa Maria the island retains its relaxed feel. Explore the quiet streets with their brightly colored houses, the blue eye cave, and the saline flats. The sun shines 350 days a year, so bring sunscreen!

    De lange dagen op zee begonnen hun tol te eisen. Mijn 19-jarige collega Windseekers voelde hun laarzen gaan koken. Tijd voor wat whoopie in het stuurhuis!
