Description
Street’s Guide to the Cape Verde Islands is a compact and easy-to-use guide for sailors visiting Cape Verde, either as part of an Atlantic crossing or for an extended stay in the archipelago. The book covers all the main islands, including Santo Antão, São Vicente, Sal, Boa Vista, Santiago and Fogo.
Unlike more technical pilot books, this guide places great emphasis on practical information and local conditions. The reader is given advice on anchoring, port conditions, weather and sailing conditions, as well as insights into culture, supplies, transportation and safety. This makes the book particularly useful for long-distance sailors who want to understand both sailing and social conditions in the area.
Richly illustrated and written in accessible language, the guide works well as a supplement to more detailed maps and pilot books. A valuable reference work for anyone planning a stopover or longer stay in Cape Verde.
