Expedition Sailing Adventure from Brazil to Ascension Island and back!
Just 8 degrees south of the Equator and straddling the mid-Atlantic ridge, Ascension Island is one of the most remote landmasses in the world. Ascension is known for its annual migration of nesting Green sea turtles- arriving from January to July each year. The island has exceptionally clear water and a rugged coastline with its volcanic past. As a mid-ocean outpost it is an important refuge for more than just turtles. Sea Dragon will be using it as a stopping point for an important expedition to the South Atlantic Ocean. In support of the ongoing 5-Gyres marine plastic work, a team will sail from Rio de Janeiro Brazil to Ascension, and then following the Trade Winds into Recife Brazil. This will create an important early look at some of the suspected plastic accumulation areas in the South Atlantic. The crew will also continue ongoing work on ocean acidification and marine toxins enroute. Once on Ascencion, the plan will be to dive, hike and meet with local conservationists. This will be a fascinating look at an isolated oceanic habitat - and one that will help build our understanding of marine conservation issues. Sailing with two RYA Yachtmaster skippers, this is also an excellent chance to build sailing skills. Arriving in Recife, the crew will be able to remain aboard and participate in the annual Recife-Fernando de Noronha Regatta. Dates are 27 August to 25 September. Learn more at www.panexplore.com. Crew fees are US$4350 ( 15% off normal rates)
Offer valid between 23-08-2010 and 25-09-2010
