THE NEW CREW ON MOONWALKER!

Introducing the new crew on Moonwalker, which at the monent is hitching a ride inside mum's tummy (much more confortable I would guess) and stealing dad's space in bed... not quite the crew you would imagine if it wasn't for the image hum??? The photo shows our little one at 9 weeks, 3 cm and kicking and punching although I can't feel a thing the scan showed it clearly. Just amazing.

We will leave the sex as a surprise after much pleading of Jan and Russell. I am a curious creature by nature and a Brazilian by birth (where surprises are unheard off) so this sort of decision didn't come easily. But I promissed and now I am glad I did. How exciting it will be!  

We are now at the 13th week so just out of the dreaded first trimester, all happy and healthy. Very lucky indeed for not having morning sickness or any other negative side effects. I only got the good ones: big boobs, enhanced se... oh you don't want to know about all that... but lets just say its good, very good. ; )

So the plan is to carry on to Cape Town as soon as we can and depart for Brazil in January. I will be flying over on the 19th of January for my gourgeus niece's baptism and will stay there as I really don't think it's a great idea to do such a long crossing (3 weeks) pregnant. Realistically if something goes wrong I am totally screwed. I would never forgive myself to letting that happen. Russ agrees so we are looking for some crew to do the crossing with him. As long as the crew is prepared to pay for their flights back we are happy to shout food. Apparently there are plenty of sailors here whom need the mileage to get licenses and are even prepared to pay for it but Russ wants to be able to choose who he sails with so as long as they pay their ticket back we are happy. Russ will be leaving (weather permitting) just as I fly out (19th of January) and sailing to Rio de Janeiro. He should be there in time for Carnaval! If anyone know of anyone interested please get in touch.

VERY HAPPY, BRAZIL HERE WE COME !!!
