Safe overnight trip?
Hi! Your post is wonderful! I am thinking on doing the same trip Lençois->Feira de Santana->Valença but I was hesitating on taking the overnight buses as you did. Is it really safe? The bus station in Feira is ok? Thank you in advance! Cheers

Inspired
My husband and I have started talking about taking an extended family trip around the world. We have a two year old son and plan to have another child soon. The planning is in the very early stages, as the trip will be in years to come, but I wanted to let you know that your family travels are an inspiration!

Shit happens
I did this trip with my Catamaran (www.fritz-the-cat.com) about 35 times and Your experience is of course breathtaking. Being seasick on top of this makes it even worse- but You have to agree, that You reached safe az Cartagena. Your Captain did the right thing- he waited fore daylight, as the risk while rescuing the mast and sails, cables, ropes in the water at nighttime is a lot bigger than by daylight.To catch a 2 hours sleep in the meantime is the best one can do in this situation. You mentioned, that You had fear of the boat turning upside down- which is maybe Your personal impression but without the mast a monohull (single hull sailyacht) is of course more stable then with the load of mast and sails (wind) on top of it. As I know this construction being a big and comfortable luxourios yacht Your fears were absoloutly unrealistic. You should have done that trip in one of the tiny boats some captains offer, below 13 meters of lenght (44 feet) the movement on this vessels is realy killing- vomiting in this never ends- You were on a 18 meter boat with long keel, that doesn´t move at all comparde to this boats. Peter is a reliable and responsible captain and his girlfriend grew up on a sailyacht and is able to navigate this yacht on her own. Shit happenes- You were just unlucky

מדהים
שלום לך לילך, ושלום לכל משפחת ספיר, בעקבות כתבה באינטרנט הגעתי לקרוא את הבלוג המקסים שלכם, ואני מבלה את השעות האחרונות בקריאה, בהעלאת זכרונות, בקנאה ותקווה שאולי גם לנו זה יקרה. לפני חמש עשרה שנה, אני ובעלי עשינו את אותו המסלול כמעט (שם הכרנו), ומדהים איך השמות והחוויות עדיין חקוקים עמוק בזכרון. כיום, חמש עשרה שני אחרי, ושלושה בנים, הרצון לחוות זאת עם הילדים מפעפע בנו מדי יום. גם אנו נמצאים בשליחות כבר חמש שנים, בארה"ב, הבנים בני 9, 5, 3, ומקווים שביום מן הימים, אולי תוך כדי החזרה לארץ, נעשה עצירת ביניים ארוכה בדרוםמרכז אמריקה. מאחלת לכן חזרה לשיגרה בצורה מהירה, והשתלבות חלקה במסגרות החינוך ובעבודה, ענבל
