I'm going to sail across the world, really?

I'm a Jersey girl, NOT a Jersey Shore girl, but a mall hopping, turnpike driving, pop culture glutton. I'm not sure which left turn, got me here, but here is an OVNI 43. That sounds like the name of a spaceship, but it's a boat, a sailboat.

So, all of my earthly possession (or most - I'm not a total idiot) are stowed somewhere on board and the plan is to go from Brest (with a name like that it has to be a French port) to somewhere between Salvador and Belem in Brazil.

That's the what. The how, when and why are much more complicated. I think I'll save them for next time.
