Anchoring in Santos

The workday just finished, the last few weeks have been really hectic with a huge workload for the whole crew. Were raising money for the project, hosting various parties for MTV and Red Bull. So the days are filled with sailing from place to place and lots of maintenancework. My time is mostly spent in a close relationship with all the ropes on the ship, doing splices and trying to keep them all in shape, or if Im not there im inhaling paint or repairing sails. 

The first voyage that we did from Paraty to Florianopolis threw us in the middle of  a storm with a windspeed of 35 knots and waves of 5 meters, but also dolphins swimming on the side of the ship and huge turtles passing by. A good reminder that life on the sea never is predictable and that it generally provides its visitors with enough emotions to cover a year on land. 

Hopefully Ill be able to put some fotos up the next few days. I could spend the whole night trying to descripe the absolute harmony and peace of a sunrise on the open ocean but I prefer to show you.
