The one nice thing about writing a blog about a place after everyone else has already written about it, is that I can write what I like and you readers pretty much know what I’m going on about : ) As I have stated before, there are a lot of birds in Brazil. So …

Meeting People – by Karin J
Hi again. I have been notified that it is time for me to blog again. So here I am blogging. I decided to blog about Trinidad – rather than go on from where I left off, which was Salvador, right? Well, since then we stopped at French Guyana. It was a fascinating place and we …

Salvador to Devil’s Island – By the Mom
The 1840 miles to Devil’s Island was the most difficult sailing we have done so far. We left Salvador on the 21st of July 2015. (This gives you a good idea of how behind our blog is). The wind was light and we motored out from the coast to catch some more wind. The sea was …

Itaparica Island – by Karin (the Mom)
We left Salvador to go to Ilha Itaparica – one of the renowned islands in Salvador Bay. It usually takes 2 hours to motor to the island, but the wind was from the right direction and, of course, we sailed 🙂 It took us about 4 hours to reach the anchorage of Itaparica Town. This counts as …
