Fun in sail handling!
Two nights ago Diane stayed on deck a bit longer after her watch. We were supposed to tack in 30.

Getting up the coast of Brazil is turning into a struggle. March is the start of the south east trade.
We have left and every step we take, every sail we set, will take us closer to home. But first.
Almost ready to leave Santos again. Now underway with a few new adventurers, setting off with a nice South West Breeze!.
The sun is just rising. It is almost 06:00, my watch is almost done. The water is like a mirror.
Our visit to Ilha Anchieta was a great success! We got a special tour lead by Sergio, who was born.
The fourth day into our cruise, so far we have stopped on Alcatrazes, Ilha Bela and now we are at.
Tecla anchored in Santos Brazil, but getting ready to leave and start cruising along the Brazilian coast!
Not only in Itajaí were they happy to see us (although still the best welcome and lovely people) but also.
Sitting on the aft of the Tecla enjoying (thoroughly enjoying) a beautiful lightshow of fireflies on the Island in front.
Since 2024 the Tecla is officially a member of the IAATO, the International Association Antarctic Tour Operators. We are very proud to be a member and to call ourselves Ambassadors of sustainable Antarctic Tourism. We hope we can make you our next Ambassador! Not just for Antarctic Nature, but all nature, wildlife and life on our amazing planet.
