Furna (Brava) - Docking
It is not recommended to enter the harbour at night.
The holding is good in the sandy bottom. Yachts normally anchor to the west of the slipway with two anchors out to the southwest, plus a stern line ashore (with anti-chafe protection) to the sea wall.
Due to the effect of the mountains on the wind, the harbour usually remains sheltered.
A possible dinghy landing is at the steps on the quay in the north part of the bay, but it is subject to some swell at high tide. There does not appear to be a problem with security here.
It is not permitted for yachts to use the ferry dock.

Reasonable anchorage at Nova Sintra. My friends boats did not drag, mine did it a bit; Two restaurants (Maria open every day and the other some times) and one mini mini market and one mini mini mini market.
At the capital there is a surprisinglu big supermarket. The most open and warm people I met on the Cape Verde.
