OLD: Sailing Tropical Dawn has moved!

We have moved out podcast from Podomatic to our own blog (which uses WordPress). You can find the links to our new podcast on svtropicaldawn.blog/podcast or you can just update the RSS on your Podcast client to svtropicaldawn.blog/category/podcast/feed/

We won't be posting any new podcasts here, so please update to keep listening!

This week we elaborate on our experiences being in the North East of Brazil, going to Cabedelo and João Pessoa, Paraíba. What we learnt about the culture, religion and just in general about Brazil and this beautiful region. Oh yes, and food! Here's a photo of our massive breakfast the other day.

We've been in Cabedelo, Brazil (or more specifically Jacaré) for a week and a half now so we can give our first impressions of what it is like here for us. We love the food, the weather, the culture, etc. Listen to the episode to hear why.

While under way Kay and Dimi each separately recorded some of their reflections. As an added bonus there is also a recording of the background noises on the boat during the passage. Enjoy!

We made it to Brazil! We rejoiced in a similar way when we got to St Helena, but this time the passage was challenging in different ways, it was longer and it was harder but we also got new things out of it because of that.

We are about halfway on our passage from Jamestown, St Helena to Cabedelo, Brazil or at least we should be. To check where exactly we are and to send us a short text message: https://share.garmin.com/mapshare/svTropicalDawn/

We'll have a new show once we have arrived (and maybe a day or two extra to get our land feet back).

This week we talk about our experience sailing/cruising with a dog, how we got our mini pooper to do her business on the boat, and other challenges we faced.

By the way, our Coco is a star on Instagram: www.instagram.com/cocoadventuredog/

We are leaving St Helena after a bit more than three months. We enjoyed our time here and are sure we will be back. This episode we reminisce about what make this island such a special place.

We talk about the two radio stations on the island, both of which broadcast online: SAMS Radio 1 and Saint FM, be sure to give them a listen!

And we also mention the two local newspapers: St Helena Independent and The Sentinel.

To see where exactly we are between St Helena and Brazil, check our Garmin inReach, you can also send us messages on there, we'd love to hear from you while under way: share.garmin.com/mapshare/svTropicalDawn

We won't be flying back to South Africa today, we explain what will happen in today's bonus episode.

On this episode we also give you a short listen to Saint FM, one of the two radio stations on St Helena. You can listen to them online on www.saint.fm

A very short podcast episode today as we are still in limbo wether we can fly back to South Africa with Coco or not. We'll post updates as soon we know more.
