Senegal

Background: Independent from France in 1960, Senegal joined with The Gambia to form the nominal confederation of Senegambia in 1982. However, the envisaged integration of the two countries was never carried out, and the union was dissolved in 1989. Despite peace talks, a southern separatist group sporadically has clashed with government forces since 1982. Senegal has a long history of participating in international peacekeeping.

On board "The Willis"

Ile Goree
June 12th 2009  Africa » Senegal » Cape Verde Peninsula » Dakar
An uneventful day as it was apparently too rough to dive. I went to Ile Goree today, very quaint. Met a Belgian girl who works for the Red Cross. She has three masters, so it sounds like I’m on ... [full story]

In Dakar
June 9th 2009  Africa » Senegal » Cape Verde Peninsula » Dakar
Well I made it to Dakar, although I’m pretty sure I’m staying in a brothel! Not dumb (desperate?) enough to sample the merchandise. It turns out that Eri and Kiryomi are in Dakar until Mon ... [full story]
