We just love checking out all the local graffiti art everywhere we go! The colorful city of Mindelo has its share on every street corner! #capeverdeislands #neverstopexploring #mindelo #saovicente #crossingtheatlantic #sailinglife #lifeinport #graffiti #localgraffiti #capeverdeculture #traveltheworld #sailtheworld #bestsailingdestinations #sailingdestinations #lifeisanadventure #sailorsandseadogs (at Mindelo, Cape Verde) https://www.instagram.com/sailorsandseadogs/p/BtdBhGcBXty/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1dys7ldc645ul

Another outing with the drone became another opportunity to fascinate the local children of Cape Verde! #sailorsandseadogs #exploringcapeverde #crossingtheatlantic #saovicente #capeverdeislands #drone #djimavicpro #djimavickpro #bestsailingdestinations #sailingadventure (at São Vicente, Cape Verde) https://www.instagram.com/sailorsandseadogs/p/BtTlq0FhOg5/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=3t39xrz5rdw

Let’s talk TRASH! We are concerned about where to put all the trash that will accumulate for three-plus weeks when we cross the Atlantic. We have a few solutions....Anything organic goes overboard. Any major packaging of food and/or supplies is thrown away before we leave the marina (for example, cereal boxes). Plastic bottles are smashed and crushed to take up less room in the garbage. Diaper Genie for the head. AND, we just came up with this brilliant idea.... We use these 8L jugs of water to constantly refill just a couple of smaller reusable bottles for drinking. This eliminates the large number of bulky bottle trash on board. Then we use the empty 8L jugs for paper trash. A lot can be stuffed in there and it can be sealed! Much better, much more compact, and less smelly than trash bags. Brilliant, right? Cap’n Jack approves! Can you give us any other tips for what to do with all the trash on board while crossing the Atlantic? #crossingtheatlantic #sailingwithdogs #sailinglife #trashonboard #voyagesmagazine #sailorsandseadogs #sailingtips #bluewatersailing #womenwhosail #sailingistruth #livingonboardtips #beaglesofinstagram #lifeisanadventure #sailorsandseadogs #sailingseefalke #sailingadvice #cruisingtips (at Marina de Mindelo) https://www.instagram.com/sailorsandseadogs/p/BtOcqQfhhTj/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=ckxgxj1iduix

We had the most amazing evening last night with our friends from @sv.silkap and Eastbirds. Thanks to Ivo and Dajana for your amazing hospitality and for the delicious authentic SWISS FONDUE! We had six people from six different countries 🇺🇸 🇩🇪 🇨🇭 🇸🇰 🇳🇱 🇵🇭 but we also had close connections to a few other countries among us 🇫🇷 🇵🇹! Sailing is such an international community full of fantastic people from amazing cultures and with incredible experiences. We had so much fun! #apirateslifeforme⚓️ #crossingtheatlantic #canaryislands #marinalanzarote #lanzarote #arrecife #sailingadventure #sailingcommunity #usasailors #americansailors #germansailors #dutchsailors #swisssailors #filipinosailors #slovakiansailors #frenchsailors #portuguesesailors (at Lanzarote, Islas Canarias.) https://www.instagram.com/sailorsandseadogs/p/Brxah01h28b/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1lpkmx8um3w8e

With only two more quick stops, we are really close to our sailing adventure across the Atlantic! It looks good that we will set sail again on Sunday to travel from Arrecife, Lanzarote to Los Gigantes, Tenerife (200 nm, approx 40 hours). We will confirm on Saturday morning and if conditions are favorable, we will go LIVE with our passage briefing on Saturday afternoon/evening. 12 pm PST 2 pm CST 3 pm EST 20:00 WET 21:00 CET We have received a ton of questions about the crossing so we will also have a LIVE Q&A immediately following the passage briefing. You can post some of your questions here to be sure we get to them. We’ve received questions that range from how much fuel we need to how much water we need to how much toilet paper we need for 3-plus weeks at sea! Want to know how we will we handle seasickness? How will we handle boat maintenance and repairs? How we work out night shifts? What will we do with all the trash? Questions about the dogs? Ask us ANYTHING! #apirateslifeforme⚓️ #crossingtheatlantic #canaryislands #sailorsandseadogs #lifeatsea #sailinglife #livingonboard #boatmaintenance #provisionjng #sailingseefalke #passageplanning #sailingpassage #lanzarote #tenerife #crossingtheatlantic #atlanticocean (at Lanzarote, Islas Canarias.) https://www.instagram.com/sailorsandseadogs/p/Brj97mRh7Gv/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=1ffianvoh604h

The Museo de Historia de Arrecife is a history museum based in a castle on the waterfront of Arrecife, the capital of Lanzarote. The Castillo San Gabriel was founded in 1593 when a square shaped fort was built over 5 years to create a defense against pirates. #canaryislands #crossingtheatlantic #sailinglife #sailingadventure #traveltheworld #sailtheworld #lanzarote #islandsofadventure #travelbloggers #sailingseefalke #sailorsandseadogs #lanzarotemuseumofhistory #apirateslifeforme (at Lanzarote, Islas Canarias.) https://www.instagram.com/sailorsandseadogs/p/BrhuxJLhmVB/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=p1gretlupm20

There is more to Lanzarote than the fantastic volcanos! The city center is gorgeous and the view of the sea is absolutely spectacular! #canaryislands #crossingtheatlantic #sailinglife #sailingadventure #traveltheworld #sailtheworld #lanzarote #islandsofadventure #travelbloggers #sailingseefalke #sailorsandseadogs (at Lanzarote, Islas Canarias.) https://www.instagram.com/sailorsandseadogs/p/BrhuIYFBn4L/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=9dawemxw8mka
