Discovery

One thing I love about sailing in Rio, is the feeling when the bow is pointing back towards the Bay entrance. The view over the Sugar Loaf, the range of steep, green hills of granite rock, mesmerizes me. Something about this view takes me back into the ages of discovery, when sailors set into the sea, sailing right into the unknown, to discover the secrets of distant shores.
