Morgenster

Across the Line Morgenster Sets Sail from Cabo Verde to Brazil

Life at Sea Begins Anew

From the moment we left Mindelo behind, the Atlantic embraced us with its deep blue serenity. Dolphins greeted the ship, leaping alongside our bow as if to wish us fair winds. Life on board quickly found its rhythm. Watch duties, sail training, and moments of relaxation as the sails filled and the Morgenster surged forward.

Each sunrise painted the deck golden, a reminder of the adventure we’re all part of. From celestial navigation with a sextant to yoga on deck, the days are filled with learning, bonding, and purpose.

 

Crossing the Equator A Seafaring Rite of Passage

In just a few days, we will cross the equator, a moment of true significance for any sailor. For those who haven’t done it before, this will be their first initiation into the age-old maritime tradition of becoming a Shellback. It’s a moment of shared history, humor, and ceremony. And a testament to the seafaring spirit that lives on aboard the Morgenster.

A Taste of Cabo Verde Still on Our Lips

Before we hoisted the lines, there was time to explore Cabo Verde’s volcanic beauty. Our crew enjoyed hikes along lush green trails, overlooking dramatic peaks and valleys that plunge into the Atlantic. These experiences have left a lasting impression and brought our crew closer together. Ready to face the Atlantic as a tight-knit team.

Why This Voyage Matters

This leg isn’t just about nautical miles or reaching the other side of the world. It’s about building resilience, discovering the power of teamwork, and rekindling a sense of wonder that modern life rarely provides. With the Morgenster as our guide, the Atlantic becomes a classroom, a mirror, and a path to something greater.
