Hi everyone. We have left Elba Island and are opening sails toward Montecristo Island. There is no internet connection around Montecristo and we will be in the open sea for much of the time so I will probably not be able to add any new entries for the next 1.5 days.

Here Stefano and Melissa climbing the masts

I live in Rome but I’m Italo-Brazilian and I am very proud to represent Brazil at this grateful project. Today we climbed up over the net to the first seat of the main mast. It is 17 meter high. The view up there was just wonderful. For me it was very impressive that even the disabled got enough power out of the group that they climbed up there. During the morning we had our first discussion about the G8 topics. It was about discrimination. I liked that the educators presented the topic in an unusual way because they made a game out of it. It sounds stupid but with the game it was easier to talk about this topic which is very difficult and complex in the reality. That made it easier to talk about it in the discussion later. Now to the awesome part of the trip with a sailing boot. We stopped today close to the Coast of Elba Island. So we were allowed to swim the first time after the departure in Civitavecchia. I even jumped of the railing of the Bow. IT WAS 5 METER HIGH!!! After that we were lying in the sun and just enjoyed the time on the ship. But the best thing since we departed is the relationship to each other. We are coming from all over the world and just know each other for 2 days but we have the same goal: We want to change the world to a better one. </p> <img border="0" src="http://www.tendertonaveitalia.com/blog/content/binary/Mel & R.jpg"> Melissa leading a blindfolded Rachel.<img width="0" height="0" src="http://www.tendertonaveitalia.com/blog/aggbug.ashx?id=37e31bf1-151b-46fa-85bb-9ec979c0b3dc" /> http://www.tendertonaveitalia.com/blog/CommentView,guid,37e31bf1-151b-46fa-85bb-9ec979c0b3dc.aspx Melissa Rachel
