Anchored off Mindelo after nineteen days. The boat is a mess. I am not.

Sixty countries, one small boat, no hurry. Geographer, mostly retired; sailor, mostly not.

Reefed, finally. Twenty-five knots on the nose since Porto Santo and the autopilot has resigned. Hand steering in four-hour shifts. Happy.

2,351 m. Started at midnight, summit at dawn, the whole archipelago laid out below like a chart I once drew.

The bar where every sailor has been once. Gin, a wall of pennants, and someone who knew someone who knew my boat.
