After 5 months in Johannesburg (South Africa) I will travel back to Salvador (Brazil) via Abu Dhabi and São Paulo. Certainly not a shortcut, but the cheapest ticket available.

I will arrive on May 2 in the morning on Atlantis and start with a general inspection and check of all systems. She will also need a complete clean.....so more than enough work for this sailor.

Once all is fine, my Brazilian friend and crew member Mauro will join me. We might have some passengers on board for the first leg to Jao Pessoa, but not confirmed yet.

Our final trip itinerary will depend if there will be passengers on board or not, in the latter case we will probably sail directly to Trinidad with a short stop in Devil's Island (French Guiana)

I will keep you posted
