\u00a0After short hops between the islands, the yachts now face a 755 mile voyage to the\u00a0Cape Verdes<\/a>. There they will make their base in Marina Mindelo on the island of S\u00e3o Vicente. The Cape Verdes are an increasingly popular stopover for yachts crossing the Atlantic as a staging post to break the ocean voyage into smaller distances, which is one of the aims of the Islands Odyssey.<\/p>\n

The yachts are expected to arrive around the second week of December, after which they will continue on to Martinique<\/a> and meet the Atlantic Odyssey yachts who are making the direct crossing from Lanzarote.<\/p>\n

The yachts which took\u00a0the El Hierro start were:\u00a0Blue Moon, Kwanza, Hakuna Matata II, Lesmona, Nangilima, Optimus, Velvet,\u00a0V\u00e9toc\u00e9an, Whisper HR, Sarayu and Xela.<\/p>\n
