Ashore in Mindelo, again. Jan 25,09
Here I am again in the Yacht Club cafe cooling my heels, surfing the net and drinking coffee.
The weather, specifically the swell and winds, were not good for our passage to Brazil so we have stayed at anchor. The “current” plan is to leave tomorrow morning but who knows.
Yesterday an American submarine came into port and tied up alongside the wharf across from us. This morning a bunch of us went over when we got a shore and brazenly asked if we could get a tour and lo and behold they were happy to give us one! It was really interesting and there was surprisingly enough head room in most of the crew compartments for me. The crew was really friendly and open and we even got to have lunch in their mess, mmmm chicken nuggets and fries 
I’ve added some pictures of the sub to the Sao Vincente album linked in the previous post.
More later…
Thanks for reading.
