Canary Islands - Brazil

I chose to write about this journey because I've always wanted to go to Brazil, I am huge admirer of Brazlian football and culture.

After they visited the Spanish governor on October 27, the ships headed to the islands of Cape Verde. After entering equatorial waters, the crews were forbidden to sleep outside to make more storage room for food.

The weather was getting foggy and hot, there was no sun for several days in a row, and the temperature could reach 27,5—28,7 °C so it was extremely humid. Frequent rains made it possible to collect a two-week water supply, and wash clothes. The crew stretched covers at the back of the ship, to collect rainwater.

The ships crossed the equator at 22:30 on November 26. On both ships, the crews shouted "hurray!" three times.

After they reached 20° south longitude, Krusenstern started searching for Ascension Island, however it was hard to find because it's position seemed to keep changing when using the instruments on board. Krusenstern arrived in Brazil through the port Florianópolis, that (compared to Rio de Janeiro), had softer climate, freshwater and cheaper food prices.
