To Cape Verde

So much for no shipping activity on the river, last night we met a small 30 foot tug towing no less than 6 X150 foot barges!!, they evenually passed safely on my stbd doing less than 1 knot, blowing their horn and screaming, although it wasn't english, it was easy to tell they didn't like my anchoring location. At least Vicky gets to tell me she told me so, no no dear, it's fine, stop worring all the time... there is no signs of any commercial shipping in this river ..... We can add this to the other stories, as we also fouled with a fishing net a few days ago and end up in the trees along the river bank, and then there was dredging attempt of the Gambia River a little later as I tried to find a small channel... well luckily this satilite email system only allow a 1000 characters emails. Will spend tomorrow clearing out and getting some fresh fruit and vegs before blasting out of bug ville towards Cape Verde on Monday
