On Sunday we landed in the bright sunshine and about 30 degrees in Salvador.

We were picked up from our friends at Brazil airport, have brought our luggage to the Whisper, conducted a quick inspection and kept everything on the fly for good, no smell musty, no critters, etc. ...
Then we went together Picanha (beef filet) eat. Loc at 22.00 clock. time we are happy, but tired fallen into our bunks. (5 hours time difference)
We are glad that we found our Whisper after six months back in good shape. We were afraid of mold, cockroaches, rats and other. On underwater to a 5 cm thick growth of mussels has accumulated. The upper deck was brown and verkleckert of bird shit, but what does it matter that can be cleaned everything. So is first scrubbed vigorously. The underwater we fortunately can be plastered by a marina employee, the water here in Ribeira is not just tempting to dive.
Time passes quickly, on Wednesday we Verholen our Whisper to the pontoon and now have water and electricity again. Thus, Hanspeter can make at an upcoming project and recite the salon floor, so he comes to the water lines that go from the kitchen to the bathroom. There, the 30-year-old copper pipes, it has a small leak, so that the water pump starts again. And even chaos in the ship's back!

Yes, it needs so its time until the ship back on its feet or - is placed woman. We still need to get the sail during sail maker. The sun has the protection of old Genoa renewed and sewed along with the newer ones. All fittings and sheets must be mounted again and the LED light and the wind blades are mounted on the top.

We have enjoyed our time here in our home very much. The six months gone very quickly! Being together with the family and the many great meeting with friends we could satisfy our need for existing social contacts.
The only thing that often go missing, family and friends are. But it is a wonderful experience that when you come back after a long time in the home, being with family and friends is like. Before the absence Now we have obtained pre-and after.

We worked a lot on our old jobs back and experience the hustle and bustle of CH-life. Now we are looking at 22.04. to fly to Salvador and set up our home on the Whisper SY. It's great that we have to switch between two different forms of life the chance.
