Cruising guide book pioneer, Don Street, Jr. has a message for all sailors planning to cross the Atlantic via the trade-wind route: "Forget about crossing from the Canaries in November...2,700 miles with erratic trade winds that have not really settled in. Head south and cruise the Cape Verdes for two or three weeks. Depart from Brava the first week in December. The good solid trades will boot you the 2,100 miles to the Caribbean at hull speed in time for Christmas."
To back up this advice, Don has written Street's Pilot/Guide to the Cape Verde Islands. In it, he provides a historical and cultural commentary to add color to his down-to-earth descriptions of more than 50 potential anchorages. Any sailor with a sense of adventure who reads this guide will find plenty of reasons to explore the Cape Verde Islands.
Don's first hardback cruising guide, A Cruising Guide to the Lesser Antilles, opened up the entire eastern Caribbean to cruising sailors and made chartering a bareboat a dream-come-true for thousands. Street's Pilot/Guide to the Cape Verde Islands could have a similar impact on sailors' ideas about the Cape Verde Islands.
