WIZARD'S EYE

Part 3 of the Atlantic crossing- South Africa to Brazil

By KAVU

April 26^th, 2016

quick stop

Our stop at Ascension Island only lasted a few hours. Just enough time to feel sand between our toes, have a few beers and re-provision. Being on the island was bliss but……..

onward

Brazil was calling and we still had a long way to go……

Back on our way

fishin'

Early one day, although severely under-tackled, Dan hooked into a 600+lb Marlin. After it swam right up to the boat, it decided to stop playing with us and sounded 900 meters straight down, spooling the rod! Exciting times!

always interesting

Late in a night shift, we lost our spinnaker into the ocean when a main halyard broke. It was an intense way to wake up but, we got it back on board and like everything else, dealt with it KAVU style……one step at a time with smiles on our faces!

self reliant

Funny thing about being on a small boat in a big ocean…..we can only rely on our selves to deal with issues. To re-route the spinnaker halyard, Jeff climbed the mast in pitching seas

wild but fun!

laws

No place better than the middle of the Ocean to teach us that “the only thing in this life we can ever hope to control is our own minds”

day to day

Chess, exercise, reading, fishing…..every day, good company and an epic position. This was a good routine to have

Indeed, we became better friends, lived a full value experience across the South Atlantic and not once took a moment of it for granted. Huge smiles in Brazil after 33 days……KAVU smiles!

Stay tuned for more updates from Tyler Bradt and his crew on the Wizard‘s Eye. He is currently on a 1700 mile crossing to the Caribbean!
