Hospitable, it’s here One of Hashtag Sal’s goals is to record and navigate the entire Brazilian coastline. or at the Iat Club. So you have fairly good visibility like that I got stuck in a backwater, in front of a riverside resident’s house.
Very cool, no need to keep opening it in the middle of a sail, I compared by taking a bottle of mineral water and filling another from the river 30 miles long and there isn’t a single sailboat there. was a fantastic experience for people to get to know the culture, the details; we observe, look at the people How wonderful this is, huh? the chance to take advantage of the tide I’m not going to take it out of the plastic now.
Returning to Novo Airão, this Anavilhanas archipelago, the Rio Negro, the water was mirror-like when there was no wind, obviously. There is a tour to Flona, which is the Tapajós National Forest. Only this trip could still offer me that.
I brought several gifts, some things to donate, you know? Salt extraction from Brazil, right? And it’s either tapioca flour or manioc flour.
Have a meal at his house, eat the fish there. Here, the forest provides fruit and game. Those were the times I stayed docked instead of anchored.
Eugênio left Santos, São Paulo, and now explores the Amazon and its tributaries. Like the Varginha alien. At Refeno 2018, a Frenchman came, and at the start of Refeno, there was some suspicion of drug trafficking.
How many miles? om so many cool things. There was a case with a Swede; I asked him why he entered the Amazon.
I imagine you anchored without problems, and there hadn’t been a sailboat robbery case in years. Here, the water level rises and falls, with the current always flowing out to the ocean. Then when daylight came, I saw they were wind power poles, and as they passed in front of the signal lights, that's when they blinked.
But of course, I know it must be very different. So, for me, I classify this trip into three or four phases. And if he has an explorer spirit like most sailors do, this chance The Panama Canal is to reach French Polynesia with 3,000 islands.
I see people talk about Fortaleza and imagine that; I don't think it's the only place, but it ends up ruining the image of several other places that I imagine have no problem at all. The tide in Belém oscillates between 2. 7m and 3m, with currents in both directions, flooding and ebbing.
But as I talk to those who have sailed there a lot or live there, turns its back on it, while the rest of the sailors in the world would dream of sailing there. November, December Then I left with the tide ebbing two hours before it turned. a grilled tambaqui if I gosh, I've already given tips to some shrimp, anchor very calmly with the support of a lodge, you can use the lodge's pier The Pará State Military Police did a job arresting several people who were robbing on regional ferries.
I decided to do this sail now; it was three months ago that I left here, and I went for a month. At this time of year, the river isn’t very clean. ’s like that swollen, shovel, sickle, machete Let me see.
Sailors from Venezuela, from the Caribbean. We leave the river, already having taken a shower. om Santarém, where I am built in Porto Alegre, in 2006.
You can sail quite a bit on the Amazon River at certain times of the year, the wind is steadier people cross but this is almost half a tank the tide reaches 5 knots of the fish here Yeah, these are cities of 300,000 people. And this image enchanted me; I said, "I have to go to this Rio Negro to see these photos," regular meat, butcher shop I want to take my walks, but then we entered And above Itacoatiara comes Manaus. And if you have a trained crew and a well-prepared boat, you can come easily.
in the middle of a storm, not knowing how much diesel is left. fills up again so there’s a group of about 18 to 20 dolphins Their website appears here at the bottom of the screen and also in the video description. And then I continued along the North Coast, after Rio Grande do Norte, There are several oil platforms along the coast, If you liked it, don’t forget to subscribe, like, and hit the bell to get notified when we release new episodes.
But continuing from Galinhos, I passed through several places, And there’s a difference, right? "Hey, I want to congratulate you, I’m amazed there isn’t a sailboat here a tambaqui And no one says, no worries, it’s super calm here. to experience other things om Belém up to here But then we went to the islands around Belém, You can imagine what that is, right?
And salt flats, those little salt mountains, man, I had never seen that before The greatest joy was when I received a treat like that, right? But I got to experience what it’s like to sail inside rivers and anchor next to waterfalls those are things I will carry with me forever everything is alien I sailed when I left Manaus recently, and I was even called on the VHF, doing what I like, what makes me feel good. which has a story about extraterrestrial lights appearing there so at the time it’s filling up om the city, from the village to the Island of Love into the Pará river We have one sensor and will put it on the diesel, but we could have up to eight sensors, Here it’s called macaxeira; in several places it goes by different names.
because there are leafy trees on the banks and I am available And I think I’ll put it on the navigation table later, find a little spot for it, you know. there’s one everywhere, you know? You do a guided trail through the community, Then people went on the boat, bringing fruit, seeds, the wind changed and pushed the grass; sometimes it was in a calm spot Up to Belém, it was 500 miles and comparing the two, they look practically identical.
But despite some outliers like this, attacks on riverboat workers in Brazil are very rare. And then you can sail pretty well. I didn’t even know where the place that was called was.
and it’s really cool, I’m sure you’ll like it. the fish here in the Amazon basin The pedal boat is at about 99. 9% of the coast there, all alone, right?
in height, because of the volume In these cities, Manaus, and even Belém, we easily find fuel at floating gas stations, Yes, people do Nearby. . .
So, when I bought it in São Paulo, I had already sailed from Rio Grande do Sul to São Paulo. and then you anchor close like that, practically if you want, and it took me three months; I traveled from Belém to Santarém in three months. was very strong, it threw two, even three tires, car tires, I didn’t dare to buy a chainsaw and then the genoa would open, to give the boat more power and cross And what is it like to enter the Barra do Amazonas?
or more engine? This is going to be a really good thing. ’s spectacular, because I end up not doing anything in my life you know They hunt.
The river dweller doesn’t have a butcher shop nearby, nor a market. The comparison of the two. But in a certain part of the river, you have to take the boat out of the water because there are many waterfalls.
very interesting there are 408 river islands and the long islands to help and give tips pushing the boat onto the anchor ’s even bigger. at low and high tide One of my big questions is how far to go into this coast And in the land of the ground, there’s the Sairé festival, along with other regional festivals. Ibama has already mapped it; everything is controlled.
The main attraction of Manaus is the meeting of the waters, I will never go back to Brazil. And when it dries, it looks like an ice crystal. You can follow him on Instagram @oveleiropedalinho But what exactly is the Brazilian coast?
but we always have a lot of doubts about how much diesel is left om Parintins comes Itacoatiara. Then the wind picked up, the boat flew, against the tide I always have this key in my hand here. And I looked like this, seeing that handful of blinking red lights, 67.
3 liters for the culture of the people from Pará and Amazonas They extended it for about 10 days with the boat seized and found nothing. Here in Tapajós, I only leave with sails. but the Amazonas is a violent river, with a stronger current.
Something we used to do too; it’s not a problem, but this way is much better. Here in Santarém, there are about 10 boats, ferries, that do deliveries. And look, there were some marks where the trunk hit, tearing off the venomous one, I had never heard of it They spend 14, 15 days fishing, and the guys treated us, the sailors, they are spectacular Passing along the coast, coming from South Africa and heading to the Caribbean, there is a captaincy dock.
Never had one? you think, am I capable of doing this? this time when the river is rising The water is clean, right?
’s not 5% or 10%, it’s a 30% discount. I think this happens a lot because of fear, and it’s normal to be afraid of what we don’t know. So, the Pedalinho, I could say it’s the boat that sailed through all the states of Brazil.
there it’s all irregular The price of two liters of gasoline is ten reais, man. barbecue, but it’s difficult But I also removes the logs from the banks 20 miles? Along these big cities I passed through, and that was the big discovery for me.
in Santarém there is the market would be first the East Coast, up to Rio Grande do Norte, I went to Fernando Noronha, including Brolhos, the transitional one, right? If you do the math, probably most of the places that are possible to diving hunting here doesn’t have a useful life for that long. that have anchoring options this chat, right Woohoo, look there, 58% diesel But then I attended here the sailboat Pedalinho, following the standard procedures.
so I don’t live in fear of people This will solve our tank problem. but you need tougher equipment to be able to go to Léa there are plenty of options. In the middle of the forest We looked at two points, but the sensor needs to be about 10 centimeters, preferably 15 centimeters, from the tank walls.
on the catraias, they are and the ebb time is faster Seeing these curiosities, there really are a lot of dolphins — spectacular! So, you don’t have the salt to get rid of from your body, right? This caused a lot of trouble because the boat And then Gradually, this fear turns into knowledge.
You point the bow of the boat, then jump from the bow onto the sand, got it? I received several people at the edge who saw the sailboat, Both, when the river isn’t raining, They had never heard of it And when the wind picks up or is following the wind I heard about a couple, I think they were French, who arrived and anchored 10 miles off the coast, Knowing which seeds are edible and which aren’t. In Pará, specifically, I felt very comfortable Some community guide, Now I know exactly how much diesel I have To start, how long is it?
And on the other side, there’s Colares; the city of Colares is less sheltered. And when you talk to people nearby, or who have been there a few times, it wasn’t really like that. I’ve been using the engine more Because it has a wedge shape underneath Didn’t you feel like arriving just to say you made it to Roraima?
I’m seeing you sailing close to us I already knew the Amazon, so the experience. . .
And the guy brings you tapioca, the fish; there were times when he opened his house to welcome us, invited us in. A lot of wind energy; I even arrived at night, But there’s no Nutella, no granola, no fruit, nothing. This guy, they were robbed there in Fortaleza, and not just him; I heard about several cases, ’s winter, because it’s the rainy season I kept going into holes to explore Here it was already a bit loose.
People use this paint. Someone was always badmouthing the other’s place. Here in Tapajós it’s formed by a tributary river, Arapiuns of the fish there, one kilo of Imagine the Rio Negro, like Coca-Cola, with everything you saw reflected — the clouds, the sky, the stars.
that enter the current which is the most tense moment; it’s in these crossings from one shore to the other. I go to these places During the World Cup, I was in Maranhão at the time. the next anchorage would be I could have taken it more slowly, but the experience I gained on this crossing from Belém to here, I came yesterday from Santarém, which is 18 miles away, sailing.
So, it’s a habit, besides fish, to eat game, unfortunately. and then to continue the trip behind Marajó Island, you have to reach the Amazon River again. And this here is the sensor.
’s spectacular, really cool For example, whether to enter the Amazon River or not, and how far to go in. In Manaus, I took advantage of having done maintenance on the pedal boat, Then I entered Fortim, on the Jaguaripi River, Canoa Quebrada, a national tourist route, First, it’s really strong in the city Besides that, gasoline and diesel, in two-liter PET bottles, right? even passes through the capital Macapá, which I had also visited when I went fishing.
for them to meet the riverside people. diving fishing takes you into the middle of the forest, where you can hear birds, in rowing canoes I got to know what Morro Branco is like; Morro Branco is also in Rio Grande do Norte, because the Amazon River is formed by the confluence of the Rio Negro and the Solimões. Each salt crystal is different, unique.
I’ve heard it’s pretty rough, there’s pororoca, and other things. Why don’t you go after your dreams? with tractors and loaders on top of that salt mountain.
This display here, this CPU, picks up signals via Wi-Fi from other sensors, 408 islands, I didn’t say it wrong And if you really liked it, if it touched you in some way, So I admired and kept it, recording it in my memory. Most of the places where we anchor have been like that for 10, 20 years, or in some cases, have never had a river pirate attack recorded. so the city is full of monuments to extraterrestrials ’s a durable epoxy paint.
If you take ten reais from the stash, it’s not worth as much as if he gets two liters of gasoline. So, you’re. .
. called Espadarte, then we started sailing next to this bank, a pirajá appeared for two reasons. but I’m a guy who doesn’t eat fish The grass detaches from the root Got it?
So sometimes it’s not leaking for 6 hours, it’s a bit less during the ebb tide Because I went straight to Galinhos right away, In Itacoatiara, there’s a manganese extraction port, 7,491 kilometers. I kept tossing and turning and couldn’t sleep well Here is the food. when the river is low, because the water, you look at the boat, you’re on the boat, you see here was a pilot who moves the ships there ’s a huge discount.
in the Boreste, it would be Sori Understand? To give you an idea the whole coast flashing, I said, "Wow, what is that? I’d never seen anything like it.
" there is an association something like that, the guy went, after the start, when it was beginning to relax, let me see your boat, and then we’d come talk. I think, to sum up, people are afraid of the unknown, right? however, it’s not cold here Then after that, the guy got really pissed off about what happened.
I do, I’m a cruiser, I arrive at the place if it’s good. of pirarucu, of tambaqui wow, each house is beautiful, right on the riverfront. And açaí, fish.
I shower ten times a day. ’s access to spare parts and structures to repair the boat if needed. This way, it’s easier to understand what’s dangerous and what’s not.
and the tide was already stopping anchoring a sailboat in Brazil is within the Amazon basin. and I can better calculate my consumption too that it’s worth it he said, I like to go where few sailors go. so much so that it dams the Tapajós and the Rio Negro I got a brief sense of what it’s like to sail inside a forest.
to be able to use the tide There was no case with a sailboat; it’s also very rare for sailboats to enter. pirarucu costs 18 reais I had the chance in Rio de Janeiro You think, I talked with fishermen on boats and then he was fascinated ’s the problem of logs floating down the river Without getting your feet wet. Then I said, “Look, friend, I want to.
” So we changed the channel and cleared it. I had already been to a jaguar island, All cities have it, and you can also find it in small villages if needed. I was already thinking of making a special #SAL episode proving Acre exists.
Can you get to Acre? People sailing on a sailboat for the first time sometimes have a somewhat naive fear, I thought about doing that and at night I didn’t know those details, ’s not just a trip like that. .
. and with that I today is a day we’re going to the low temperature here is 25 degrees and at dawn this grass shifted the bank and got caught in the current. ’s a village, a quiet village where people the two are practically the same.
And it’s valid until June 10th. I’m anchored next to the Island of Love, so it’s motor. Then I found a dry dock and brought the boat up onto it, you hear animals.
And in Galinhos, in this region of Rio Grande do Norte, it’s the big. . .
in the hole that’s there Now I’m going to, I’m just testing, lightly touching the wire here. which is a car-free peninsula, and here the main attraction is the peripheral tours around Alter do Chão. And I put this rod here, see.
so I preferred to go upriver, where the current is much weaker. And they intertwine, cracking like ice. the Sori is spectacular and then those start to come ’s one of the numbers I found, but if you measure the inlets a bit more, it’s 9,200 kilometers.
How is it real? I kept imagining if I found myself, if I were to head toward the Caribbean. .
. Wow, the açaí we drink here, a band like that Web Tecnologia runs a really cool promotion. a super cool thing where you get to interact with a boto dolphin I went in alone and then when it reversed the inns, all like that, with esotericism which is ridiculous And then we did all the tide studies; Navionics has the tide tables and they match perfectly.
When it’s windy, it’s bad because it causes chop; here it’s called panzeiro in this region. Anavilhanas and over there in Catamarans do that, a sailboat can do it too. Yes, yes.
I met several sailors, including at Repeno, two years ago. Man, Eugênio, you have so many miles, are you going to do even more of that? Here, the transmitters — there must be a transmitter and a receiver, maybe ultrasound, I don’t know.
I don’t know, if there’s an oil tank, anything, black water. So the river dweller would arrive, give a. .
. Become a supporter too and help us make sure there’s a new Hashtag Sal to watch every Sunday at 10 a. m.
So the ship goes upriver, there are many ships there. Because it’s very rare from outside, and they arrived at night, 10 miles out, and stayed there. And in Natal, I also used a grounding trailer to take the boat out of the water.
’s living, man. Let’s live. One kilo, of the fillet.
Because I can see how many hours are on the engine. was a situation at risk of getting stuck. ’s something that attracts me, but at the same time I’m a little afraid.
And the worst part of the bar. We did. I never put it in the tank to avoid sludge, right?
om Belém to here, 90% is with the engine running. Commander César. Sailing under the Rio de Janeiro bridge, including, On the contrary, for example, I went to Manaus in the last few days.
Is there meat there too or not? And when I stopped at that floating dock, the guy was fascinated, he brought the owner to see the boat, right? That it has water even clearer than the Tapajós.
Which is, if I’m not mistaken, from Rio de Janeiro. There’s no way, there’s no river all the way there. And I brought some, I even have souvenirs of salt nuggets, huge salt rocks.
Arriving, you asked me a few times, “Ah, what are you going to do? ” Weighing 3 or 4 kilos, those big fish. And after Fernando Noronha, I went back to Natal.
Constantly. So it’s like he’s just another colleague in their profession, you know? The guy doesn’t know that place, no, I don’t know there.
Which are ultrasound sensors, To solve this. Girl, say hi to everyone here. No, there are many cool places.
And when the wind died down, I took the tire out of the water. clumps of grass There is a huge photographic archive. and sometimes we don't know exactly how much there is.
And they eat it with fish, that's lunch, right? 's fantastic! I saw it as I got closer to the coast, So buy before that.
At certain times the river flows more, So, the waters flow about six kilometers, more or less, without mixing. the bet, right? there it's just bicycles and carts like Paraty, right?
when I made the Varadouro channel I received my brother and his wife and he said: and we went in here. with the Snorca you can easily clean the bottom and the biggest flood today, early morning in Alter do Chão, And from there I went to Fortaleza, stayed at Marina Park, right, it’s the recommended place, sometimes the mainsail, when I was going up, I always sailed with it fully open there are hardships, but it’s nothing that There were times I arrived at the river mouth just to check the weather forecast, to Many sailboats with flags from other countries enter Belém. On the east side is the Pará river.
Even having sailed only in the south and southeast parts of Brazil, And then I know I have. . .
You met him through But even so, we don’t see her as an option. And I was left there, not understanding. in Angra dos Reis, using a cloverleaf, then I took it off, in Salvador, I leaned it against the wall, the reception, I was there with the we were already well inside the river Anyone who buys on their site using the coupon code #SAL and how much, like, with much more accuracy you always ask about the meat side about three to four, I met about three to four sailors who were unfortunately robbed in Fortaleza.
’s the red dolphin, which is the so-called pink dolphin Now I’m going to find a little spot on the panel that will fit There in Fortaleza I met several followers, they talked about it, I met the Iat Club, the people from Iat Club in Fortaleza, the name of the island is Onça, that comes later There’s the Arapiuns River. in Novo Airão there’s a floating dock that’s been there for many years in front of Manaus, the Rio Negro is dammed ’s different from the southeast, right? And the guy sometimes put in gasoline, that was two days of travel.
When I came back, I counted nine ships waiting to load. So we saw it was much easier to break through this inspection hatch here. crossing the Atlantic Forest between Paraná and Santa Catarina On this stretch, I asked, "So, how’s the security?
" Throughout this whole trip, the biggest concern was the mouth of the Amazon River, the Pará River. Going up from Belém to here, it was a narrow stretch of rapids, So I decided to talk to someone who’s been doing this for a while And I also passed just a few miles from the mouth of the Jari River, which is the border between Pará and Amapá. No, there isn’t.
I always fill up with rainwater. You can have eight sensors all shown on a single display, which is pretty cool. which is known as the Amazon Caribbean.
and the main attraction I found and the guy with thorns as thick as a finger But on second thought, this is a place where almost all transport is by water. This week I took some time to do maintenance and improvements on my boat. buffalo cheese And the boat stayed still in the same spot.
must have made 26 others didn’t. That ice that starts. .
. It’s fantastic. The Rio and the Tapajós are spectacular.
And the Amazon is one of those places with almost no literature, very little information. They are the bastard boats, which are the saveiros from Bahia. You can reach the Rio Negro; it connects with the Orinoco River.
gets easier But it’s not hard to go back just to fulfill it. Yeah, a little. .
. Sailors from Belém who receive At night, when the sky was wide open, you looked at the water and saw the sky, the same thing — the River of Stars. You go to Veropezo, in Belém, it’s delightful.
In Natal, I took the boat out of the water and made some repairs that were. . .
So to go upriver you have to watch that. gave me much more support. The east wind mostly hits from behind, so the boat stays.
. . But I haven’t heard of any, you know?
Because you are a That was shipwrecked, then the guy dries the dock and it rises, taking the boat out of the water. Where all the riverside people navigate and the ferries also go up along the banks. This is my crew member, Adriano.
Where to put the sensor? Then another detail, there’s no star player, right? I don’t intend to get anywhere, because the journey is what’s enjoyable.
And the tank has a very different shape to save space. That also helps me know how many more engine hours I have. The Caribbean doesn’t attract me; what does is the Panama Canal.
’s not a tiny little fish. And there were several times I got gifts, and you know, it still happens today, right? Tourists who go there only arrive by boat.
And then it heats up. And the more detailed you measure, the longer it gets. In most parts of the country.
’s been two weeks since I got back from Rio Negro. The next morning they were robbed, unfortunately. And then they gave tips about the tide, the current, and suggestions on where I could enter the bar.
"No, there’s no problem here. Upstream is more dangerous. " ’s the Ribeirinho, man.
A child started feeding a dolphin. om Santarém, where I am, to Terra do Chão, all the way to Manaus, ’s one of the. .
. And then it flows smoothly, about one knot, at most one knot. At Ilha do Amor, they serve healthy food, I sent them a technical drawing for them to review, right?
If you ask a foreigner, "What place would you like to visit in Brazil? " The things, the unique experiences that. .
. Super well, it was like that. Leaving at the right tide.
And the black dolphin here is called tucuxi. I met about three there during the time I stayed in Belém. And then, those rivers form whirlpools.
Then there’s Parintins; Parintins has the Boi festival. Whenever I arrived: "Can I share this paradise here with you? " ’s sweetened a little, with honey and sugar.
There they call them bastard dolphins. Who are used to the southeast. The most beautiful beach in the world.
’s like. . .
and in the summer Simple people there, with good hearts Has been with me since the start of the trip. And one of the things that really impressed me, that in those. .
. The river now in June, next month, And don’t forget to also watch Nomad Ali, a spin-off from Hashtag Sal, I ended up staying 45 more days in that place. on behalf of the city of Breves, a major city on Marajó Island because there’s a big problem with robbery, you asked me at the beginning of the conversation, And all these boats need maintenance too.
the main concern throughout the trip. and it’s pretty cool Have an açaí with fried fish. Here at Balanço, we have a pretty basic way to check how much diesel is in the tank.
And inside here, what’s in there? Let’s see. And recently Galápagos, right, Leo?
over on Itaparica Island, where I did the background painting, there are names of sailboats from all over the world, I don’t want to arrive, I want to be on this journey. And look, Adriano used to make a jaibe and these dolphins started coming daily And if I go, I still don’t know what I’ll do with my life, right? that when the river is low, long sandbanks form, ’s spectacular, things that.
. . by far, one of the best And that’s what I’m going to do, I needed a 52 hole saw, had to buy one, only found a 54.
When we think about it, it’s about piracy, but. . .
The river beach, right? which is very hard to fully understand, even if you spend a lifetime there. And then on the other, no courage, laugh above.
and then you have a place 6 miles wide per centimeter and out of curiosity, I was very close to Roraima stadium The pedal boat is from Instalivro, it’s a BB36 A bottle of mineral water. This one is sealed, see. I leaned it, tied it securely, and then I could do all the work, it’s resting on the keel.
But, well, besides all those other cities you stopped at, stops filling up I wanted to get to know the Rio Negro. so it’s always a moment of doubt because the wind is strong places where I was welcomed I have that fear too. Let’s go, let’s go.
to spend the night here? " The chance he says Amazon is very high. You go there, everyone is there.
eat the fish from the hand of this. . .
today it’s a lady Obviously, the most beautiful in the world. and on the crossing when the wind came from the aleta and from July on it empties When the research I did, it’s. .
. Today, if someone asks me, my address is Alterdochão and. .
. And then the security guard said: "No, here it’s calm, but up there I heard there are some problems. " was Belém, great Asking the river dweller, she said: "Perfectly.
" Zero bullet. And this one is open, see. and it empties.
iends I will take Sealed. And. .
