Solo Sailing the Atlantic: Africa to Caribbean

In the previous episode, Mark sailed his Cape Dory 36, Swan, solo from Morocco down to Mindelo in Cape Verde. Now on the return leg of his Atlantic circuit he faces the big one - the 2,200-mile trade-wind passage across the Atlantic to Dominica Island in the West Indies. There is no diesel engine. Only a small 6kw electric outboard motor in a custom lazarette well used mainly to enter and depart port.
