Manoel Morgado, a Brazilian pediatrician-turned-mountain-guide who became the eighth Brazilian to summit Everest and the first to complete the Great Himalayan Trail, spent six years living aboard a Lagoon 38 catamaran named Good Karma after leaving medicine in 1989.8:07 He bought the boat with no sailing knowledge, hiring American Sailing Association instructor Curtis for two consecutive 20-day live-aboard training sessions — first near Guatemala and Belize on a monohull, then near Martinique before a Caribbean and Pacific circuit on the Lagoon 38.19:59 The Pacific crossing took 22 days to reach the Marquesas, which he describes as the high point of his sailing life.25:17 In the Tuamotus, he dove at night alongside manta rays.32:55 The most frightening moment of his life came not at sea but arriving from Cuba to Florida, where authorities — tracking two aircraft that had been following his boat — suspected him of drug smuggling, held him for three hours, dismantled the boat, and released him only after finding nothing.36:01 He draws direct parallels between mountaineering and sailing: rope-work from climbing transferred easily to sailing knots, and both worlds attract unusually genuine people.9:56 He sold the boat when his partner Vanessa, after eight months aboard, quietly confirmed she was ready to stop — a decision he describes as following the same instinct that led him to leave medicine.1:01:44
