Does anybody know if there is surf in Cape Verde, and if so, are they beach or reef breaks??

Actually yes. there are a lot of people that go surfing there. I have been to Cape Verde about 6 years ago and while I was staying on the Island of Fogo, there was a beach called Selena and there were surfers there. Weather they are beach or reef breaks? well it all depends on which beach you are at and what areas. I believe Selena may not be the best place but there are plenty other places to check out! It's a gorgeous tropical assortment of Islands and I recommend that you check it out.

[edit] Timeshare Sales

Do the Islands currently have any Timeshare Sales either on Resorts, or off site?

[edit] Motto

Is anyone able to provide a reference for the motto Unidade, Trabalho, Progresso? A Google search yields only Wikipedia sites. Pruneau^talk 10:12, 2 September 2006 (UTC)

     I recall that being the motto....and have seen it in numerous government offices, but can't find a reference. Perhaps it just the PAICV motto? Aether8m

[edit] Sad trend on this article

I note that of the last sixty or so edits on the article, about two haven't been either spam or reverts. Thanks to everyone who has been monitoring the page for spam but it's starting to get ridiculous. Any suggestions on what we can do to protect the article from further spam? --Roisterer 15:36, 13 September 2006 (UTC)

We could get an admin to protect it so that new and anon users can't edit. Carl.bunderson 17:03, 15 September 2006 (UTC)

Nah...its not that bad yet is it? [[User:aether8m] 22:25, 10 March 07]

[edit] Spam

I have had a dialogue with User:Hankmarvin and agreed to sitck to one link to what is a plausible site. I hope this will end the problem: he is after all a Newby who did not really understand the rules. I will keep monitoring the article--BozMo talk 20:08, 30 September 2006 (UTC)
