Our position is 12 58.S 38 30.W
We are back to the Terminal Nautica marina after being out in the bay since Sat. It was nice to be out away from the city and get some of the air and explore around some of the beautiful islands off Bahia. We decided to stay out an extra day to dinghy around some of the beaches and collect some shells. Hopefully we will get out to visit the bay once again before we take off for Recife. There is a river that everyone has been talking about with some nice quiet villages to visit along the way. We might do that before we take off up north for carnival.
Tomorrow we have our tour to Cachoeira that we all have been looking forward to. Carolina will be our guide once again. She is from Bahia and is somewhat of a historical expert on this area. We should learn a lot.
We have the a/c on now and are just resting after getting back on the dock. It is hot back here in the city and the a/c is great. One thing we are happy about is that Crazy H has all the necessary plugs for getting power and a/c. Many of the other boats have issues with the power and not being able to use a/c. We are thankful that the previous owners seemed to have the boat ready for all the power changes that we have faced in going around the world. Bill has made multiple cords so we can use all the hook ups. That is certainly something to consider when traveling on a boat outside of one's country.
Rosemary, Bill and Matt
