In this section of the site, you'll find all sorts of information on what we've learned in our journey (We're still learning!). Are you still learning? You might want to check out our glossary of sailing terms.

To learn Portuguese takes two translations…

Few people realize how difficult it is to learn Portuguese. Few understand that it takes TWO translations, first from Portuguese to English, and then to the real meaning.

Thus:

  • Portuguese=English=Meaning
  • Agora=today=tomorrow
  • Amanha=tomorrow=next week
  • nao problema=no problem=it is complicated
  • Esta sabado=this saturday=next wednesday

But it is mostly fun along the way.
