Dear family and friends,after a 36 long hours of motor sailing,beating against 3 to 5 metres waves and winds up to 35 to 40 knots we threw in the towel and decided to return back to Jacaré( what a birthday for Steve!) That wasn't the first time,so sometimes things happen for a reason! As the skipper says: we will try it again in the future. The Federal Policie gave Steve another 53 dias, in mean while we will be eating our fresh ration before they go off(by the way we are eliminating weight,no loosing) and making plans of what we are going to be doing next. Untill next newsletter bye for now. Beijos to all! Renata&Steve
