A Brazilian couple, Jean and Silvia, departed Angra dos Reis in August 2023 with limited sailing experience — Silvia had none, Jean had three years on Baía de Paraty — and sailed to the Azores via the Caribbean, Venezuela, Colombia, the U.S. East Coast, and the Atlantic.9:59 Their route included Granada, the English and Dutch Caribbean islands, Los Roques, Curaçao, Aruba, Miami, the full U.S. East Coast from Florida to Boston, and a transatlantic crossing to Horta on Faial. Near Guantánamo, Silvia unknowingly edged toward the U.S. naval base while Jean slept; an armed patrol boat with a megaphone was alongside within 30 seconds.28:55 In West Palm Beach, Jean bathed in his underwear on the stern and drew a police visit — the neighbor who complained was Sylvester Stallone.34:42 A Boat US tow service rescued them after an engine failure, saving an estimated $1,700.48:29 Arriving in New York, Jean anchored 300 meters from the Statue of Liberty.49:00 In the Azores, a rudder inspection revealed the rudder stock bent to 84 degrees with twisted stainless steel fittings — possibly an orca strike — and repair quotes reached €12,000.55:56 The practical lesson: learn basic boat maintenance before leaving Brazil, because skilled labor abroad is scarce and expensive.11:51
