Sailing – Part 2
We have, at long last, returned to land. As we look back on our week aboard the Tocorime (the same ship used in an episode of the Amazing Race, by the way) we remember….
• Sailing in a tropical storm – that in the end, lasted for 5 straight days and brought countless inches of rain
• A delicious, although improvised ‘beach bbq’ on the ship – complete with our chef cooking by headlamp
• Lots and lots of white rice
• No dolphin sightings – and not for Mel’s lack of trying
• Mud hikes – and a different definition of ‘gentle, flat walk’
• How gross it feels to not shower or wash our hair for a week – and the shock of how long leg hair can grow in that time
• More monkeys! They may look more gremlin-like then monkey-like, but how cute are they?
Not sure we’re true sailors yet, but it certainly has been an adventure we won’t soon forget. After a few (wet) days in Paraty, we’ve headed back to Rio…and hopefully some sun.
