Carnival! (NSFW)

Well, it's another long midwatch, and like it seems to do every damn day this year, it's raining. Again.

 So, with dampened spirits dragging me down, I thought I'd share some pictures from Brazil's Carnival to brighten up everyone's day. Lord knows I feel better already.

Carnival 2018 (NSFW)

With the horrors we've experienced as a nation in the past 48 hours, it's easy to forget that Brazil's Carnival season wrapped up on Fat Tuesday, just a few days ago.

 I assure you it was a fine year, as far as Carnival went. It's quite a spectacle. I still haven't made it down to Brazil to experience it myself. I'm just not enough of a social person, or not brave enough, I guess.

 Well, at any rate, we could all use a little more warmth and happiness I'm sure, so here's some highlights for you to enjoy from this year's festivities! Click to enjoy without your reading glasses.

 Well, it's cold and rainy here at HAWSEPIPER's Afloat Global HQ/Palace of Health and Wellness. We're having a down day- a damp, drizzly November of the soul, as Melville puts it. I'm trying to eat healthy, so it's not like we can just fry up some chicken and fries and shit, either. I anticipate my salad with ennui.


       Obviously, it's time to look at naked and half-naked Brazilian women, rectify the humors a bit, and with Carnival 2016 in the bag, there's plenty of new material to share this year, and I'll parse it out here and there. Stay tuned.

Well, beach season is winding down in Brazil, with winter upon us, but let's visit the sunny days and the Carioca girls one more time.

Because it's pushing 2am, and because I'm looking down the barrel of a long tour here on the Big Metal Monastery, here are some nice pictures from the last Carnival held in Rio De Janeiro.

It's going down to  damn degrees tonight. Just put a blast heater pointed at the through-deck fitting that handles our running water. Hope we don't freeze up.

 Tomorrow's crew change, but not for me, which means it will be a long-ass day, and cold as hell, besides. To counter that, I present some warm and alluring sights from this year's Carnival in Rio De Janeiro.  Enjoy.
