Welcome
Dawnbreaker fans and crew.
Our blog is now written by a new chief editor but runs still under the same executive producer Lars Alfredson. Me, Tonton has taken over, while Caroline is taking her winter break after a lovely 35C Brazilian summer - she has made it back home safe as informed by a extremely early call this morning ... Hehehe 
Caroline leaving
Today was
basically a very relaxing day for the crew, except for the local labour which
had to work hard on maintaining our batteries.
It seems, that
due to lack of care from the previous crew our batteries were thirsty and dried
out - wonder who did drink their share
on the Atlantic
crossing? Thomas???
   They took
about 16l of fluid today. Dawnbreaker hasn't seen so many bottles leave
the boat since the last stop at Noronha.
Last night we
had our first midnight dinghy visitors on board for a nightcap. Renato our
dock neighbour with his Dr. girlfriend.
Both French
boats also left this morning. This means we can finally listen to Rock
& Roll Brazilian way and volume until late night
while enjoying
all liquor on board to reduce weight for the next leg. We already managed
to get rid of 5 bottles.
Food in Brazil is so plentiful, that crabs crawl their way to the barbecue as you can see at the picture ....   Their luck was
that the menu today, was fish from yesterdays catch - a token of
friendship from our local residents, as a result to our charm and PR
efforts. Lars is becoming very popular at all stops in Brazil - must be
this Swedish look, kkkkk ......
 Special request from the Captain .... It's time for Putzmeister to come on
board .....
Kalle Puts i mitten
Our Blues outing was cancelled tonight due to pure lack of stamina
and excess Metaxa. On hand blues is more convenient ....
That's all friends and readers  Comments are
welcome at either Lars' email or at the chief editors email tontonat439 {CHANGE TO AT} gmail {DOT} com .... Please english only as .... kkkkk, and thomas next
time take better care of the batteries.
