I plan to depart Tanger on May 5 and sail to Mindelo, Cape Verde with a pit stop in Canaries. I write to inquire if anyone has recent experience with this passage, OR Mindelo/Cape Verde in general. I understand the eastern island might not be safe; BUT, I understand that the western (Mindelo) are fine. Anyone have any thoughts on this subject, please?

Thank you and best regards,
