Farewell / Adeus - We will be leaving Brazil (by plane) and need to leave behind a great companion who quickly became a beloved family member. Zait will always have a special place in our memories! We wish him great adventures with his new master and captain.

This video is a great idea to visualize the huge distance from civilization when sailing the Southern Ocean 💨⛵️

Enjoying saturday at the seaside. Even for small sailors there is always something new to discover. The weather is far from nice. ☁️💨🌧 But we do our best to entertain the little one below deck. With all the rain and wind outside it is quite cosy down here.

Meanwhile his big brother already knows how to handle the boat, this little sailor is still getting used to live on board and thinking to himself 🤔. “So little space to crawl around! And the floor (they call it deck) seems to be alive 😱 It is constantly moving from left to right. And all this protective clothing against the sun and wind ☀️💨, makes me feel so hot 🔥! Now the others are even jumping off the boat into the terribly cold and emerald water! Didn’t they see the turtles 🐢 swimming around? They might end up jumping on them! What’s the fuzz about sailing anyway? Can someone please tell me? Daddy and all the others seem to like it so much!”

It’s great to see the young ones learning the skills of sailing better by each day. I am proud of my eldest son!

Our Zait is a Samoa 34, designed by Roberto Barros who is honoured in the post below (portuguese).

Roberto Barros, ou Cabinho como é conhecido, desenvolveu mais de 1.500 projetos de embarcações navegando pelo mundo todo, algumas famosas como o Paratii (Amyr Klink), é um nome de obrigatório conhecimento para todo velejador cruzeirista do Brasil, e muito conhecido no exterior também.

O seu livro “Do Rio a Polinésia” é atemporal e apaixonante e agora disponível na "Amazon Kindle". Ele conta como saiu do Rio de Janeiro em seu pequeno barco a vela com sua Esposa e foi até a Polinésia Francesa, sem cartas náuticas ou aparelhos eletrônicos. Na verdade até o Caribe eles não possuíam ao menos um motor de apoio, estando totalmente ao sabor dos ventos.

This weekend we finally introduced the youngest member of our family to the ocean 🌊 and to Zait ⛵️. It was a great day out on the sea and at Praia do Flamengo. We didn't hoist the sails as we did not want to complicate things too much in the beginning. Our young sailor obviously enjoyed himself and in consequence we have the necessary confidence to return soon. 😃

Who doesn't yet know of this famous and courageous expedition should watch this documentary. Who already knows it may want to repeat. Hopefully soon I will also post news of SY Zait. Cheers!
