Anchoring ALONE in BRAZIL After OCEAN SAILING For 3 Weeks [Ep. 75]

Can we enter the closed country of Brazil? We need to enter to make repairs after our longest passage at sea. After over 25 Days of sailing across the Atlantic Ocean from North to South we try to find a safe place to anchor, rest, and get our bearings in the deserted jungle coastline. #sailing #bluewater #sailingaroundtheworld #brazil Our pesky sailboat causes a bit of a traffic Jam as we near the coast just outside the Campos Oil Fields in Brazil with a giant cruise ship and other passing freighters and tankers. The water changes color as we close in and sadly bypass the large city of Rio de Janeiro. Our boat dog, Roxy, finally get's some sniffs of land, but is it just a teaser? Finally, we spot a protected cove and the draw of a full night of sleep no longer offshore changing shifts is so ever tempting, so we launch the drone and inspect. For those wondering about our boat damage from the collision, keep watching our channel to discover the damage exactly the moment we do! So who is this crazy sailing couple making fun videos to share? Well, we are Kate and Curtis. We both sold up and headed out to sea, with the goal of sailing around the world via Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope. We brought our mixed rescue dog along with us as she loves sailing and swimming too! Our boat is a year 2000 J Boats J/46. We searched for 3 years for our perfect sailboat for sale, when we found it, we knew it was the one. We spent 6 months re-fitting it in Rhode Island and then went for our shakedown voyage in Maine. We stopped in Annapolis for a bit to do some more refit work and offshore modifications, then we set off to the open sea. We went to the Bahamas, Miami, US Virgin Islands, BVI, Grenada, Carriacou, St. Maarten, where we enjoyed outdoor adventures, scuba diving, and have now did an Atlantic Crossing to the Azores where we had a chance to fly our DJI drone (and learned how to fly a drone from a boat) and one of our favorite past times, mountain biking. After leaving the Azores we sailed to Tenerife. From there we have left on a huge voyage, transatlantic again, this time to South America as we head for our goal of rounding cape horn to enter the pacific ocean. We have sailed over 10,000 bluewater miles to date. More about us at https://www.sweetruca.com Enough of this, we hope you enjoy our relaxing video on #sailingsunday!
