Issuma's current position. Richard has been at sea since about April 10 when he departed Cajalba, Brazil where they build these great boats from wood.
Nice cruising grounds. For more go HERE
Richard Hudson and Issuma are underway, southbound sailing close to the coast of Brazil. Here is what they encountered yesterday. You are looking through the triangle formed by the main sheet at the aft end of the boom. The red piece is, I assume, the wind vane for the self-steering mechanism.
So it's sunrise for Richard and crew as they head north from the La Plata River/Buenos Aires and Montevideo. The current course hugs the east coast of Brazil - see the graphic. Issuma's blog link is in the blogroll at the top of the page.
Good time of year to be heading north. It would be great to see Issuma in New York in May. And Labrador in June?? Just guessing, but knowing Richard's yearning for high latitudes, it could be in the works.
