This week, our journey takes an unexpected turn as a sailing family we met in Galinhos, Brazil, joins us aboard our floating home, after their sailing catamaran was tragically shipwrecked in the Lencois river system. Together we crossed the Pará River to the island town of Soure, Marajo - buffalo country. This part of Brazil has surprised us in every possible way: the kindness of the people, the unexpected tropical river beaches the buffalo riding police force, and of course our new shipwrecked crew, everyday feels like a plot twist, and you're with us for all of it.

You can do so here: - Patreon https://www.patreon.com/CruisingKiwis - Paymate https://www.kerryhamilltrust.com/donate/ - PayPal using our email thecruisingkiwis@gmail.com This week we sail into the vast Amazon Delta, one of the most powerful and mysterious river systems on earth. It's a place of extraordinary beauty, rich culture and warm people, but also a region forever linked to a tragic moment in sailing history. In this episode we reflect on the legacy of Sir Peter Blake, the world famous New Zealander who was killed near the mouth of the Amazon in 2001. His story has shaped how many cruisers think about this part of Brazil, and it's impossible not to feel his presence as we navigate these same waters. But the Amazon Delta is far more than its darkest chapter. We share the reality of sailing here today, the remote communities, the wildlife and the challenges of navigating fishing boats and strong river currents, and the vibrant energy of Belém.

What began as quiet days of work, turned into one of the most unsettling moments we've experienced while sailing. In broad daylight one morning, a neighbouring yacht in our anchorage was boarded at gunpoint by men arriving in a fishing boat. They demanded drugs and struck the sailor over the head, before fleeing empty handed, a stark reminder of how quickly paradise can turn.

It's a place of surreal beauty, white sand dunes, deserted beaches, and flocks of scarlet ibis flying over turquoise lagoons. This episode follows our journey from Fortaleza to Lencois, a challenging stretch of Brazil's north coast, where relentless east to west currents and shallow seas test both us and our boat. With our autopilot "Bob' out of action, it's three nights and two days of hand steering before we find sanctuary in a remote fishing village. Once anchored, we discover a world of quiet simplicity and kindness, where fishing men's nets cross our path, and a bowl of fresh prawns becomes the perfect welcome after a tough passage.

11 YEARS & 50,000 MILES SAILING AROUND THE WORLD After 11 years of owning our sailboat and seven years sailing two-thirds of the way around the world, we've replaced almost everything, from rigging and electronics to our sense of self at sea. So, are we still sailing the same boat? In this episode, filmed in beautiful Brazil, we dive into the ancient philosophical paradox of the Ship of Theseus and ask how it applies to sailors, long term cruising life, and the evolution of a boat that changes as much as we do.

THEY'RE BACKON THE BOAT! Sailing Brazil This week marks the return the boys, Declan and Ivan back to our floating home. We're anchored of the hidden paradise that is Galinhos, a remote fishing village on Brazil's north coast. It's the kind of place sailors dream about, unspoilt beaches , sweeping sand dunes, a safe anchorage and a warm friendly community, far removed from the bustle of mass tourism. It's also a kite surfing hotspot. Declan and Ivan couldn't wait to dust off the kite gear and get back on the water.

CAPTAIN POISONS HIS CREW?! | SAILING THE COAST OF BRAZIL Sailing the Brazilian coast isn't for the faint-hearted, and this week, it wasn't the sea that nearly took us down... it was our dinner. After safely arriving back in Brazil and slowly easing back in to live aboard life at Recife Marina, Rob accidentally cooked with what he thought was an onion, but turned out to be a toxic flower bulb from the local market. Cue a sick crew and a mystery to solve at sea.

SAILING BRAZIL to SWITZERLAND FOR SURPRISE FAMILY REUNION in LUCERNE Welcome back aboard, but this week we're not at sea...we're in Switzerland. After a challenging sail up the coast of Brazil and a nerve-racking night entry into Sao Miguel, Rob, Declan and Ivan swap sails for a flight to Europe, thanks to the generosity of our amazing patron Andre. Three worlds collide in Lucerne, Switzerland, at the Rowing World Cup, for a family reunion at one of the most famous rowing courses in the world, Lake Rotsee.

BATTLING BRAZIL'S COASTLINE - ROUGH SEAS & NIGHTIME HARBOUR DRAMA Sailing Brazil's coastline turned out to be one of our most challenging passages yet. What started off for Rob and the boys as a straightforward trip north quickly became a test of grit, seamanship, and determination. With squalls rolling through and confused seas building, two boats in our group made the tough decision to turn back. They pushed on. And as night fell, we faced a harbour entrance that rivalled Knysna, South Africa for difficulty. Guided in under darkness, with breaking waves around us, this arrival will be etched in Rob's sailing memory forever.

SAILING BRAZIL is it REALLY DANGEROUS? We've been warned by countless sailors and travellers: "Brazil is dangerous. Don't walk anywhere at night. Don't take your phone. Be careful in Salvador." But is it really that bad? In this episode, after crossing the Southern Atlantic, we explore the historic heart of the city, ride the famous Elevator Lacerda and wander the colourful streets of Pelourinho. But the biggest surprise? Sailing across the bay to Bom Jesus Island, the locals welcomed us with open arms, inviting us into their homes and sharing food with us. Brazil showed us warmth, generosity, and kindness. We also say farewell to Declan and Ivan , as they travel south the Rio.

HEARTBREAK AT SEA - FORCED TO LEAVE BRAZIL This was one of the hardest episodes we've ever had to share. We lost our beautiful Mocha overboard, unseen and unnoticed until it was too late. She was part of our crew, and many of you who have followed us for years know how much she meant to us. As if that isn't enough, our Aussie crew Clint and Ollie faced a visa nightmare. Despite pying a small fortune for expedited processing, their visas still weren't approved on arrival in Brazil. After initially being grant temporary approval, this was revoked and they were ordered to leave immediately.

SAILING INTO ADULTHOOD - MID ATLANTIC BIRTHDAY Seven days into our South Atlantic crossing, the wide ocean became our home. With the trade winds filling our sails, life aboard slows into a rhythm of watches, meals, and moments of connection. Out here it's the little things that matter most. But this week also brought something big, an 18th birthday mid -Atlantic. No crowds, no giant party, just six souls celebrating life, friendship, and chocolate cake in the middle of nowhere. A birthday like no other, one that will be remembered forever. This is more than just sailing, it's about the beauty of simple living, milestones at sea, and the bonds forged when the horizon is endless.

11 DAYS SAILING TO THE WORLD'S MOST REMOTE INHABITED ISLAND - EXPLORING ST HELENA After the excitement of Henley Royal Regatta, this week we return to our sailing adventures and one of the world's most remote inhabited islands in the world, St Helena. Perched in the middle of the South Atlantic Ocean. With just 4000 residents, this volcanic outpost is 1,200 miles from Africa and 1,800 miles from South America. In this episode, we explore what makes St Helena so unique, from it's friendly locals, it's windy roads and scenic walks, to it's rich maritime history as a vital stop for ships rounding the Cape of Good Hope before Suez Canal opened. We also welcome back some familiar faces from past voyages, Clint and his five year old son Ollie, who will be joining us for our next blue water cruising, from St Helena to Salvador, Brazil, but first they get a taste of island life in one of the most isolated places on the planet.

It's not about sailing, but it's about boats, and every bit about the spirit of adventure, family and defying the odds.
