Tired of the snow and the cold? Thinking about Easter time… The bunny rabbits and the chocolate eggs as a possible activity while bracing up for the last blows of winter in New York?

Take a unique sailing adventure and cruise one of the most spectacular destinations in Brazil. With so many islands off the coast to explore, only a sailboat can take you there. We are going to Rio de Janeiro, and Angra dos Reis and their 360 tropical islands.

Please remember that Thierry has worked out a special packaged deal with an Air line to get the cheapest possible rate and that there is a time limit to it. After that you will have to deal with much more expensive airfare at a very busy period. In other words the earlier you register, the better it is.

You can also e-mail Kelly Wilson at the Sailing club.

In the cost of the charter are included 7 breakfast/lunches and 4/5 dinners.

It is called split provisioning which allow us to get out and discover the local lifestyle and nightlife. We do this together or not. Individual agendas are respected and encouraged as long as they respect the necessity of the board and of the itinerary. That way we can get a real sense of the local lifestyle, and nightlife, restaurants and resorts and discover traditional food and drinks.

Provisioning is organized one week before departure and you need to tell Thierry about your preferences and allergies prior to this date.

A full bar with all sorts of alcohols, and others liquids such as juices and water are also included. Although the cost doesn't include wine and bier (except for the first day) that each crew will have to pay separately.

Why? Because not everybody drinks 12 biers a day, because not everybody drinks red wine or white, because some don’t like what Thierry buys… Because we don’t like to throw things away, because it’s much nicer to go to a restaurant or a bar after a long day of sailing allowing us to discover together OR independently (some of us do need a break sometimes) the areas AND the people around… Because we have done it … and it works.

Note Kevin's comments to his darling Chris on the boat few weeks earlier.

"Babe why do we eat better on a boat in the middle of nowhere than in New York City?" Thanks Kev... Check out the picture below. This appetizing Shrimp mango drakar won best prize during the last BVI's flotilla cruise in January. Merci Daniel!
