Field notes
The page describes the Atlantic guide as a practical account of finding a sailboat ride, informed by interviews with 32 captains and 58 crew. It also traces a first crossing from Mindelo, Cape Verde, to Tobago in 2015 and a 850 km walk across the Pyrenees, much of it with Wingo. The site reports that more than 4,000 copies of the guide are in circulation; that figure is self-reported.
