I got a quick email from Martin this morning. He let me know that he and crew have made it safely to the island of Fernando de Norhna right off the coast of Brazil.
He said the minute that they hit the harbor, dolphins came up close to the boat to welcome them to Brazil. Doing what anyone would do, John and David jumped in for a quick play with these playful little friends.

Once anchoring, they quickly boarded AMARA's tender and headed to land only to find out that their ATM's don't work on the island. However, they quickly learned from a teenager about the "underground money exchange." They quickly obliged and soon had money in hand and looked for lunch. After being at sea for two weeks, the first thing that they wanted was a good salad.

As soon as I get more details, I will share them. For now, I am so glad to know that they have made it to their destination, will get rested after some much needed sleep, have money in hand and are on land eating their greens.
