What this video covers
The Meder family aboard KiraKira, a Van de Stadt Seal, spends a week at Ilha Grande, Brazil, meeting up with two other liveaboard families — the crew of Lana 2 and the Ana 2, a 42-foot one-off from the 1980s — for a beach day, a raft-up, and a barbecue at Abrao, the island's main anchorage, which holds 7–9 meters with good holding. On the short sail to Abrao, the headsail is found trapped under the forestay; the twins free it, and the crew runs the sail to reduce fuel burn and engine load.▶ 1:24 The crew retrieves a floating life jacket found underway — a recurring find they keep if serviceable or discard ashore if deteriorated.▶ 2:21 Spearfishing with a pole spear produces a small róbalo; the safety rule used is that the spear carrier always leads and the companion never positions below the shooter.▶ 7:56 A green sea turtle approaches divers closely near the boat.▶ 9:25 An expired life raft belonging to a friend is deployed as a teaching moment: the floor and ceiling delaminated within minutes, confirming that expiry dates on safety equipment are not arbitrary.▶ 11:49 The family also decorates KiraKira for Christmas, and Bruno repairs a gifted inflatable dinghy floor received from the Lana 2 crew.▶ 9:12
