Ilheus

My dear friends, I found that our journey from Santo Andre to Ilheus was spectacular! We left Santo Andre when the tide was coming in, and even so, we had at some times only 60 cm water under our keels…At a slow pace we sailed (motored actually) out of reach of the sandbanks and the double reef

Deep purple

Deep purple... not the rock band, but the Bahia's sky. The Brazilian northeast coast's sunsets has incredible colors.

Sun is shining

Check out who is on the way to Ilhabela... after more than a week of rainy days.
Sun is shining and the weather is sweet. Monday morning: Here I am.
Play this song, n'joy!


  E olha quem está na nossa rota para Ilhabela... após mais de uma semana de dias chuvosos.
O sol está brilhando e o clima é doce. Manhã de segunda-feira e aqui estou eu. 
 Ouça este som e aproveite!

Just a question

The other day I was thinking: People, in general, do the things they do because:
* They like to do it?
* They are told to do so?
* They think they have to do so?
* They never thought about it?

May I ask: where do you stand? Maybe, at this point in your life, you would need to think things over, evaluate your path, new options, new horizons, realize dreams... No matter where this leads to, be happy, enjoy and remember: nothing happens by chance...

Sailing, flying!

When people ask me why? I say why not? Explore your dreams. Just go beyond your limitations and don't give up in times of failure.

Gull in Armação dos Buzios - '...forth and back to the fishing boats' 

Gulls in Cabo Frio - 'For most gulls, it is not flying that matters, but eating.'

 

“Instead of our drab slogging forth and back to the fishing boats, there's reason to live! We can lift ourselves out of ignorance, we can find ourselves as creatures of excellence and intelligence and skill. We can learn to be free! we can learn to fly!”

“Don’t believe what your eyes are telling you. All they show is limitation. Look with your understanding. Find out what you already know and you will see the way to fly.”


 Jonathan Livingston Seagull - Richard Bach

Impressions of a great day.....

A relaxing day.... a little bit of sailing (only with the Genaker...), a great lunch on board, some swimming and catching a great sunset, later on being able to take a picture of an almost full moon on board, meaning no wind, no waves in Buzios....

Sometimes you need to take your time, to unwind and slow down and enjoy the things around you...


All the best...
