Lagoa do Sonho - what is going on?

Monday, November 26th, 2007

In my previous blog I reported about the Lago do Sonho…a private lagoon in the NE of Brazil.

Some time has passed by now, so what is the status?

Some changes have been done to the plan…so it takes more time than fore casted. But here you can see a plan of how it will look like…

lds plan 1

The lagoon will have clean, fresh water. From behind the project windmills will pump from under the earth cleanest water into the lagoon. The lagoon depth will be about 1.8 meter, and if more water gets into it, the water will rinse off tot he ocean, this way the water always stays clean.

On the sides of the lagoon lights will be installed under the water so people can kite once it gets dark (around 5-6 pm).

Still sounds like a dream, right?

I will keep you informed about its development…January 2nd the construction is scheduled to start…

Lagoa do Sonho - a kiter’s dream?

It sounds like a dream…therefore the name: Lagoa do Sonho

This is Portuguese and means “Lagoon of dreams”.

And indeed, if it will come reality, what the creator plans, it will be a dream.

Imagine a place in the northeast of Brazil, where you can live/stay at a private lagoon, with perfect flat water, warm, so just shorts needed, from July to January almost daily wind, off-season 70% of the days, with steady winds between 15-30 knots, maximum 15 kiters on the lagoon, no beginners, night light, and a very long beach with nice waves breaking.

And you will find a restaurant and a gym to work out and train your muscles.

Yes, it sounds like a dream!

There will be few private houses and apartments, and 10 houses for rent.

(if you want further info, you can contact meĀ  at info (at) kitecommunity.com)

But didn’t we already hear about a similar project before? That never happened! Will it be the same this time?

I will follow this project until it is finished, writing once a week a report about the progress.

Here you see shots from Week 0, natural as it is, before anything got touched:

Here the lagoon will be in the future.

View from the other end, in the back you see the mangroves of a natural lagoon, which is stunning beautiful!

Several kilometer of empty beach with nice waves waiting to be enjoyed!
