The Route
Canary Islands ➜ Cape Verde ➜ Grenada
We would like to start from Gran Canaria because it’s cheap to stay and it’s easy to provision and find help if needed. If the weather does not cooperate we can move the start a day or two. The decision to leave is an unanimous decision from all captains and the organization at the skippers briefing few days before departure at the Royal Yacht Club of Gran Canaria.
"Everyone was equally happy to be there and there were welcome parties at the beach bar almost every night and it is incredibly fun to be a part of this happy, brave and wonderful group of sailors of all ages and kinds with boats of various kinds and size.
Such a community is really special and hard to find in other contexts! ”
