The Historic Endurance Of Mindelo | Pandemic In Cabo Verde Africa | Winded Voyage 4 | Episode 81

MIndelo has survived and endured more than many cities in it's hits rich history. Discovered by the Portuguese, then ignored because of its barren landscape. Yet it had a safe natural port strategically located in the middle of the Atlantic. Pirates had been hiding there, but it was not settled. Eventually the Portuguese began a settlement. One that was celebrated and ridiculed. This kind of back and forth continued for centuries. And the people living there developed a different way of thinking out of pure survival. They became anarchist and in a way pirates. Living for today, because tomorrow may be worse. That is why Mindeleses are the most free society in Cape Verde. And that is why the historic endurance of Mindelo prevails even now during the global pandemic. The people here have seen worse and will prevail. Like us sailors who also live in the moment, this pandemic is just another obstacle to hurdle. And we will. #mindelohistory #capeverde #endurance Some say it’s The Best Sailing Channel on YouTube!
