What this video covers

Ben and MP prepare to depart Florianópolis, Brazil, aboard their boat Yabá by completing a local bucket list of activities depicted on a souvenir mug. The crew visits the Projecto Tamar sea turtle conservation center, which rescues and rehabilitates injured turtles along the Brazilian coast. They tour the historic Palacio Cruz de Souza museum and the Mercado Público, where they explore the local fish market known for seasonal tainha. The pair attempts sandboarding at local dunes, kitesurfing in windy conditions, and paragliding over the island. They conclude their farewell by preparing a homemade pineapple-based cocktail, substituting for a missing local version. The crew intends to sail north along the Brazilian coast to find warmer waters and winds, marking their departure from the island after an extended stay.
