Our next voyage calls Infinity to the Amazonas, the world’s largest tropical rainforest, containing several million species of insects, plants, birds and other forms of life.
January 2025, we set sail from Panama to Brazil, via Honduras, Mexico and Barbados. Once in Brazil, we’ll turn ‘West’ into the Amazon and Jurua rivers, towards the state of Acre, near Peru.
We will visit the Yawanawa people and other indigenous tribes, to learn from their ancestral ways and to experience an ocean of trees.
Navigating a labyrinth of rivers with rip tides and strong currents is a huge challenge. Snakes, spiders, mosquitos and frogs can be deadly. Even locals avoid setting foot in the river because of crocodiles and piranhas. Organised crime is abound in the region, seeking land for cocaine, rivers for drug trafficking and veins of gold underground. To top it all off, the Amazonas is suffering an unprecedented drought that marks one of the regions worst environmental crises in the past 44 years.
We want to raise the EarthFlag in the heart of Amazonia and at the UN Climate Change Conference (UNFCCC COP 30), scheduled Nov 10 – 21, 2025 in Belem, Brazil.
Our aim is to deliver a message of hope and plea for the protection of Earth’s last remaining virgin forests to the Conference.
We seek volunteers, aboard Infinity and ashore, that want to join our mission. We need support in the areas of fundraising, social media content & marketing, vegan cooking, Portuguese translation and seamanship.
We recently started a coopetition among sailors to collect uon, win sponsored prizes and empower Mission Earth.
Protect m² of nature (uon) on behalf of Infinity for €1.20, less than the price of a cup of coffee.
We just received funding to cover crossing the Panama Canal and start the journey. The next obstacle is funding for urgently needed mechanical parts and a downpayment for our new sails that we get from Doyle at only 55% of the usual cost. For this we urgently need a minimum of €20.000.
