But with a bit of organization and using all the information received from people we’ve met on our journey, we managed to find some real treasures, like Alvor’s Laguna in Portugal, the crystal blue water of Boa Vista (Cabo Verde) or here in Tibau do Sul (Brazil). But sometimes we have to load the tender with all the equipment and baby and it becomes a real mission, including walking, taxi, bus or rental cars to get to the spots. You better get used to walking a lot if you’re surf or wind hunting from a boat!
Today, we can’t think of anywhere else better on earth than where we are now. The three of us have found our place, balance and joy on our sailboat. We are thrilled to discover new spots by sea. The fishermen are our first informers, telling us about the wind orientation, the swell and hidden dangers. Travelling by sailboat allows you deeper interactions with the locals than when you arrive by plane and lock yourself in your hotel room. Nael is also a good help, waving at all the boats sailing along. Spain, Portugal, Morocco, Canary Islands, Cabo Verde and now Brazil, we have seen so many sands, seas and colours. We have no regrets about all the equipment we took, we have used it all. For now, what we have used the most are the inflatable sups, then our windsurf and kitesurf gear in the waves, then surfboards and finally SUP surfboards.
