Teaching Jadiel some rolling…
Pos: here
Loc: Sao Luis
Acc: Sandra´s apartment

Jadiel took the family and me out for breakfast this Easter morning, a large buffet was pleasing everyone`s heart and stomach. Then high speed food shopping, at least once you know the offerings in a new country (from the first big food shopping in Belem) you just have to look for the products you liked last time. Though even those are getting boring quickly…I barely eat ¨trip food¨when I am off paddling to have at least some change. Sandra with her mom in the kitchen fed me well here, I probably even gained some kilos. Muito obrigado!

It was Jadiel´s urgent wish to get some private rolling instructions from me, and on the last day off, my sores all more or less dry and healed, I overcame my fear of salt water on rest days and jumped in the sea with him on low tide and taught the basics of rolling a kayak  in his ¨Arctic¨kayak made by Christian Fuchs. He got pretty far, enjoy your next practise sessions with Lucas, the sensitive dancer, Jadiel! 🙂

I packed my last bits of food, tomorrow I will be back on the water! Three to four weeks to Fortaleza, with a rest break in Jericoacuara.
