2 weeks peace and tranquility in Caraubas but now it was weekend and I drove to Natal, picked up my baby Matilda and on to the Iate Clube. There was my sailing boat, Velamar 28 com nome de JR01 e Inscrição 3810463370 no Porto de Natal RN, construído em Fibra de Vidro pela fabricante Cabrasmar em 1990. Comprimento 8,55 Metros, Boca 3,0 Metros, Pontal 1,50 Metros, Contorno 4,70 Metros, Calado 1,70 Metros, motor no centro de 18 HP Marca Volvo, sob nº 2300043786 com eixo tipo Pé de Galinha.

When I told my baby Matilda that I would be seeling her sailing boat she was sad, she did not cry but she was sad and I had to promise to buy another one. I promised to her and to myself. The idea behind the promise was to buy a small motor boat to stay here in Natal at the Iate Clube. A motor boat is easier to maintain, easier to drive, child friendly and more wind and wave friendly than a sailing boat.

I did not want to give up on sailing but I had made my mind up and had decided for a catamaran in one of the French overseas departments, French Polynesia, Guadalupe, Martinique, La Reunion or Mayotte. Without a question, French Polynesia was my favorite, Tahiti or Moorea, Bora Bora or Raiatea. I could see myself living on my small mobile home in the Pacific Ocean, learning French, learning scuba diving, learning fishing and learning more about myself.
