Rocio, Herman, and Bruno Meder sail their Van de Stadt Seal, Kira-Kira, from the Caravelas River near the Bahia state border to Ilha Grande, Brazil. The crew departs Caravelas in company with a Colin Archer named Freia, navigating a 400-mile coastal passage while monitoring for small fishing vessels that lack AIS. Off Cabo de Santo Tomé, the boat reaches speeds of 10 knots aided by a favorable current.4:12 During the transit, the crew encounters four whales and a calf, and they successfully catch two jureles while trolling.1:39 Near Cabo Frio, the vessel faces adverse currents that reduce speed despite steady winds.5:49 While underway, the engine’s water pump develops a leak.6:50 Herman improvises a gasket using a milk carton to maintain the seal until reaching Ilha Grande, where he later replaces it with proper gasket material provided by a fellow cruiser.7:50 The crew completes a 1,760-mile round trip from Ilha Grande to Salvador, ultimately anchoring at Ilha Grande to spend the season exploring the local waters near Paraty.9:28
