Moonly Review 🌖 Delta Pirates

Hello from Capão, a cute village nested within a beautiful valley in Bahia, Brasil.

I’m finally catching up on everything that has to be caught up on and enjoying two weeks of solo traveling in another Brasilian paradise. It’s time to recalibrate, get shit done, and enjoy incredible hikes all around.

Last time I wrote you from the Falklands heading to my post-sailing decompression in Puerto Natales, Chile. It was a month ago and it feels like three or more... Let’s rewind.

It’s quite funny – I was looking for a small town, within a bus reach from Punta Arenas, with a good view and some sweet hikes around. I picked Puerto Natales after a quick research, and the name seemed appropriate for a spot to celebrate my birthday. Turns out that it’s The Spot, and hikers from all over the world travel there to visit Torres del Paine national park ⛰.

It’s an absolutely stunning place.

I spent a few days hiking, creating acts of psychomagic and celebrating another year on this beautiful planet. What a ride!

And then – hop, hop – and I’m in Brasil.

First, the best landing – Tiwa – an amazing space in the jungle, not too far from São Paulo. Luscious forest, absurdly comfortable glamping domes, sauna and the river.

Unfortunately the project is in a challenging state and it seems that the future is very uncertain. Sad, alas transformation is a natural step in life and I’m quite positive that with the amazingness of the humans involved the next iteration will be delightful.

Few days there, and then it’s time for Bahia. Ah, Bahia. What a place. Beach, coconuts and mel de cacao in abundance. But it was not a holiday, quite the opposite.

For two weeks my Pirate Team has been working day and night on creating an epic proposal of how to bring Cala Millor, a unique 48m ship, back into the world and launch a sailing revolution. I dislike the word “revolution” but we are literally talking about a possibility of changing the sailing industry. And I think we have the right crew for it.

(Just a few humble Pirates, but there are more out there!)

It really is quite a dream to experience the kind of flow state that unfolded on the last day of the sprint. All the pieces that we (and many more amazing people) have been building for years finally came together into an epic proposal sent at 3:38am to our Delusional Leader (a self-appointed title, I love my team 🤍).

Negotiations are now in progress, and we all have a good feeling about it. And if we get a green light, then my life will kinda change forever. ✨ Poof ✨ I can actually feel it very strongly in my body, and I love it.

I’m not gonna go into details for now, but instead show you two beautiful pieces that were created.

(The Pirate Code – five principles to embody the archetype of a Pirate of Love. It is self appointed, as in you can just become one, no membership required 🏴‍☠️.)

(The visual vibe of fleet we’re creating – which ship would you sail on? Let me know for A/B testing purposes 😉!)

Here’s one of the highlights – a photo shoot of the holopuni canoe (the best vessel evah!) in the pool. One more moment to remind me how much I love creating universes and art and have fun with amazing humans. This year this part of me shall be very well fed 🤗.

And I can’t wait for the analogue pics of that moment! It was all about the analogue pics in the first place.

Ok, so now it’s this big deciding moment. In around two weeks I’ll be flying to Europe knowing that I’m moving to Ibiza for the year, or ... Who knows. The mantra for this year is that whatever happens is the best thing that could have happened. Send a prayer my way if you can ☘️

Love, light and mangoes in abundance (you deserve!) 🥭.

ps. Meanwhile carrrrdification continues, and this one has proven to be the most valuable card:
