Nexus - Safe Arrival in Fernando de Naronha



What a delightful little island this is, with a great vibe! A little populated tourist destination well off the coast of Brazil, it has a sleepy character, the people are charming, friendly and beautiful, and it reminds me a little of Nuie. We rented a VW dune buggy for three days, which we paid in cash in advance, the owner asked me if I had a license but never asked to see it, showed me how to operate the car and I drove off. He never even knew my name but gave me his card. I love that! The island is dramatic and beautiful, the anchorage is nice but not very sheltered, so it is rolly, which is more of a problem for the mono hulls but not really for us. The water is warm and clear, and we were visited by a large pod of friendly dolphins when we arrived. Unfortunately I had to spend the day with the slow bureaucrats checking in, but we had a delightful drink in a bar with a view of the harbor, and a great dinner with live music in another restaurant with a great view of a surf beach and wonderful live music. Its been a welcome respite after our voyage! We're looking forward to touring the island and booking some dive trips before heading on to Grenada on Friday.
