HI,

Arrived at Praia, at night no pb to anchor, alone at anchor. Guarding of the annex by Mica on the beach of the marine police .Preparation of the boat for the next day. what arrive after is a less funny: around one o'clock at night, three swimmers boarded happily armed with a badly imitated plastic pistol. we managed to put them in the sea but it leaves bad surprises. The marine police recommend finding a place to couple at the port of fishermen or to get as far as possible from the beach After the aggression I suffered in Praia on the island of Santiagao, I have two friens who were attacked, one in Mindelho at night (around midnight) in the city center. Two French hitchhikers have been raided under the threat of knives by a band of Cape Verdian checkup two phones and stolen money. More challenging, an acquaintance of Dakar Stan T. a skipper was attacked at the anchorage of Tarafal de Santiago. He was with the headphones on his head and only on board, did not hear 3 swimmers get on board armed with knives. they tied him up and gagged him before taking money, computers, tablet, phone, clothes, food, alcohol and load everything on the tender with a motor that also disappeared !!!!
