Endless Sea
Amyr Klink, whose sailing exploits have made him a hero in Brazil, tells of his daring singlehanded circumnavigation below the Antarctic Convergence. Surfing the waves in his custom-built 50-foot "aluminum red truck," PARATII, Klink enjoys the quiet confidence that comes from proper planning, common-sense technology, and a lifelong fascination with the history of Southern Ocean sailing. A modern Moitessier, sailing before an Aerorig mast, Klink proves his seamanship handling tricky boat repairs while underway, navigating icebergs, negotiating gales and williwaws, and surfing gigantic waves.
Between Two Poles
This travel book is by the author of A Hundred Days Between Sky and Sea. This is Klink's account of a figure-of-eight solo voyage from Brazil to the South Pole, across to Cape Town; then up to the North Pole and finally, after 22 months at sea, back to Brazil.
My Ocean Liner

Walking around the world
Manolo Frediani Lima is a businessman from southern Brazil. The hobbies he has are quite interesting: traveling and climbing mountains! The book "Walking Around the World" tells the story about his most exotic tourist adventures... The last one was in 2020 when he made the so coveted Three Passes trail in the Himalayas (the highest mountain range in the world). He just didn't imagine that after 140 km of hiking, most of it on beautiful snowy paths, his trip would end up becoming a distressing lockdown. He spent 21 days of tension and uncertainty in Lukla and Kathmandu (Nepal’s capital) between March and April, a time when several countries closed their borders due to the coronavirus pandem...
the day that Chiquinho disappeared
On the November day when Chiquinho disappeared, I wasn't in Brasilia. He had traveled weeks before and hadn't even seen the little animal either on arrival or departure during a long stay. Staying at the St. Shame. Now that Chiquinho has disappeared, I see the loss, the pain of even an unintentional absence. I only stopped by there twice: once at night, going to the house of Nelson Pereira de Souza, the Brazilian president of Esperanto, and another, on a Sunday morning, on a circular tour of the city to visit Walkíria and Nabiran. But I didn't go to Concessa and Chiquinho's house.

The 26th "Yankee" Division on Coast Patrol Duty, 1942-1943
Within hours of the strike against Pearl Harbor, the U.S. military sprang into action to implement a "contingency plan" previously drawn up to protect the coast against a full-scale German invasion or incursions by Nazi espionage agents and saboteurs.

Military leaders charged the division with securing the coast of New England and Long Island, later expanding its area to include the entire eastern seaboard. Focusing primarily on the unit's work in "home defense" from January 1942 through November 1943, this history begins ...
