Episode 282 | Sailing to an indigenous village to learn about their culture, traditions and even join an ancestral medicinal ritual (that made me lose my mind). In this episode, we share our experience visiting two Indigenous communities in Brazil: the Guarani and the Pataxó. Their songs, dances, and rituals are expressions of ancestral traditions that deserve respect. Among them, we were invited to participate in a sacred medicine ritual using a preparation made from tobacco and medicinal plants, an ancient practice rooted in spirituality and healing. We are grateful to have been welcomed, and we share this with humility and respect. 🧡 The group of volunteers behind it all: https://www.instagram.com/grupo_tribodobem 💌 I’ve created a newsletter to share the moments the camera missed, the untold stories, behind-the-scenes moments, and little things that don’t make it into the videos.

Episode 268 | Testing & upgrading our anchors *Get the coolest UV shirt yet* → https://shopsailingyaba.com/products/super-cool-uv-top We spent four years rebuilding Yabá to sail the world, but before heading up the coast, it’s time to talk about something less glamorous (but absolutely crucial): anchoring. In this episode, we dive (literally) into how we anchor this 80+foot wooden boat. From our 50 meters of chain, to 200 meters of rope, to our three VERY different anchors (including two old-school designs you don’t see every day), we put our setup to the test. Spoiler alert: a lot didn’t go as planned. ⚓ We also upgrade our system with a Mantus anchor swivel: https://www.mantusmarine.com/?affiliates=179 Come along as we test, dive, learn, and figure out if our anchoring setup is truly ready for the deeper anchorages up the coast. ⛵ *Hop aboard & follow our journey* → SUBSCRIBE https://bit.ly/3dI3hBn 💙 *Support the adventure:* 📖 *Grab our book* → https://www.sailingyaba.com/book 🌊 *Join our crew on Patreon* → Exclusive content here: https://www.patreon.com/sailingyaba ☕ *Send us a drink* → via PayPal: https://bit.ly/3kR4Ezo 🧢 *Shop our gear* → Coolest T-shirts and hats here: https://shopsailingyaba.com/ 🐶 *Say hi to the crew* (yes, including the dogs!) on Instagram: https://instagram.com/sailingyaba ✨ *Want to sail with us?* We’d love to share an adventure with you!
