I still have a nameboard from a sizable fishing boat that was smashed to firewood just near the hotel. My one souvenir of Portugal's first penal colony, a salt mine.
Tootle pip!!
Are you positive that it was late 1970s? There were no significant storms affecting Cape Verde during the entire decade.
Your tropical revolving thing might have been either Frances in 1980 or Fran in 1984.
