When you sail into Senegal, you get a visa to stay in the country for 3 months. Visa is free, and you get it at the Police du Port in Dakar. I needed to stay longer because of all the work needed done on Galopin. in order to do that, I had to exit Senegalese territory, get my passport stamped, and then go back to the police for a new 3 month visa. Nearest border, The Gambia.
We caught up with Team Loustic SuperSonic waiting out the weather at the John Wayne Marina. They told us all about their hull and deck coming apart. The deck is attached with pop rivets and many of them failed along one side for about two meters of the seam—when they realized the boat was acting sluggish, they looked inside to see at certain tacks, waves of water coming in filling the boat with about 100 gallos of water. They have since repaired it quite nicely and they're drying off all their gear, ready to go on. The boat otherwise handled really well.
