Project Tamata will sail along all longitudes beyond the end of the world, crossing Cape Horn and the Cape of Good Hope. It will explore the world through the eyes of my heroes, Fernão de Magalhães and Bernard Moitessier.

First, we will go south to Cape Verde to catch the trade winds and cross the Atlantic. Then follow the Brazilian coast, just like Magalhães did, stopping like he did in Baia Santa Lucia or Baia de Guanabara like it’s called today in Rio de Janeiro. continuing south we will stop again in Parati just to enjoy the beautiful anchorages around this region and gain motivation to continue south for another stop in Rio da Prata or as Magallhaes caled it Rio Solis where I plan to visit a old friend from Buenos Aires. Patagonia shores do not have many protected anchorages so the next stop will be Baia San Julian where Magalhaes faced a mutiny. No far south the Cabo das virgenes (Virgins cape) marks the entrance of the strait that now bears his name. In Punta Arenas, the we will take shelter to wait for a good weather window to round the worn. If the weather alows and we're lucky, maybe we can go visit the Vernadsky Research Station in Antarctica, on the other side of the Drake Passage. If the weather does not recommend rounding the horn, we will head eastward along the Peru current near the Chilean coast, sailing north to Easter Island and Galapagos before crossing the Pacific to Pitcairn Island, famous as one of the most remote islands in the world and home of the British HMS Bounty mutineers descended. From there, we will proceed to Tahiti and continue to Puka Puka in the Cook Islands. The Pacific trade winds will take us to Flint Island, the last stop of Magellan, before arriving in the Philippines, where I intend to pay my respects to Magellan at Mactan Beach, where he lost his life fighting Lapu Lapu. The journey will go through the Celebes Sea and the Spice Islands and Raja Ampat, then move on to Singapore and the Malacca Strait. At this time, Belle Hull will probably require some attention, and I plan to haul out at Rebak Marina in Langkawi, Malaysia to address the necessary repairs and fly home to see my family. Once back to Malaysia We will take our time exploring the area in Rebak and Andaman sea, waiting for the monsoon season decide when to leave for the Maldives. After that, we'll start what I call The Vasco da Gama detour (yellow line in the map), heading north to Sri Lanka, Kochi, and Goa, which are the two most important ancient Portuguese settlements in India. If conditions permit, I would like to visit Ormuz and Socotra before heading south to round the Cape of Good Hope.and return to Portugal.

If The Horn Alows the sail throug the drake passage we will visit The Vernadsky Research Base in Antartida and follow the roaring forties north eadge across the south Atlantic to Cape Town and around Cape of Good hope To Kochi in India folowing the route of another of my youth heroes Vasco da Gama. If the weather send us in this way we wil then continue to Malaca strait and Trough Indonesia to The Spice Islands and the Philipines. Then We need to catch the North Pacific Gyre and the Kuroshio Current used by the ancient Manila galleon route to sail east to Havai and California before crossing trough the Panama Canal to The Caribbean and the Atlantic back to Portugal.
