The book
Chronicle of an adventure on the sea: crossing the southern Atlantic Ocean, from Paraty, Brazil to Cape Town, South Africa. Almost seven-thousand kilometres on board a small boat, fourteen metres long, with the mirage of possibly calling at Tristan da Cunha, the legendary island inhabited by the world’s most isolated community, consisting of three-hundred people. It is especially the immediate journal of seven men and one woman, “city sailors” who find themselves compelled to live for twenty-eight days in little space and total solitude in the middle of the immense sea. Amidst extenuating calms and dangerous storms, the internal journey reflected in the most sublime manifestations of the forces of nature, the Barco de fero bestows moments of authentic amazement on the voyagers
