Sailing Brazil

Faida+ in Rio de Janeiro
Faida+ in Rio de Janeiro

Faidapiu arrives in Brazil from the Canary Islands in January 2024. We sail south and leave Faida+ in Porto Alegre during the (SH) winter. In October 2024 we set sail again, turn north and exit Brazil in February 2025. In total a trip of 6700 nautical miles along the Brazilian coastline. It is an amazing cruising destination and we met so many Brazilians who welcomed us and helped us along the way. Thank You!
