There is space in paradise!


Estimated time of departure from Salvador July 7, 2009- off to near Sao Luiz in the North of Brazil. Departing from there August 15, 2009 for Trinidad with possible stops in French Guyana, Venezuela. Then from Trinidad to Isla Margarita, Grenada and Puerto Rico in December 2009. 

An expedition fee applies of US$ 1,200/month. You must also make a travel deposit of US$ 1,000 (you'll get this back when you depart) and pay for visa you may need. Full participation in ship's operation (watches at high seas) and expedition required. Can be strenuous, you must be in good health. It's advantageous if you speak fairly good English. 

Send one page about who you are, what inspires you to participate and a recent photo- to christinehandte@gmail.com and rio@adventure.org


Route can change of course- due to winds and circumstances. 

Cheers from the Crew!
