I am back to “my” room in Sao Luis, feeling a slight bit stupid… The trip back went well, the same driver from Primeira Cruz came out to my beach, this time with a smaller 4-wheel drive car, picked up my gear and me and drove me quickly back to Primeira Cruz’s ferry terminal […]

I won’t go now. At least I won’t continue from here. I already was describing the outlook for the next 1000 km until Recife: Continuous headwind with no daily or even hourly change of around 20 knots, never under 15 knots, quite often over 20 knots, with an according sea state. Plus an endless […]

I am actually quite keen on going back again to South America since some weeks already, but as long as the southern winter-wind is around 20 knots right into the face (plus the counter current), it makes no sense. It’s meant to calm down to “only” around 15 knots mid-October, and this is when […]

Even the flight booking online this morning was a tough job…in the middle of the credit card verifying process the laptop I was using ran out of battery and then the system at that agency was stuck fully.
