Day 34 26 Feb 2010, Fernando de Noronha

Friday morning and we are leaving Fernando de Noronha. 
The Island is a reserve and we paid R700 to moor for one day! 
Thereafter the charges are per person, so we stayed one 
day only. We hired a taxi to go to town, up a very steep hill 
in 34C, we were not walking. The taxi was an old beach 
buggy, 3 of us perched on the back and Rob in front. 
Most transport was beach buggy and scramblers. 
The town is spread out and tourism esp diving, 
is the main trade. The supermarket had no fresh veg 
or fruit at all! Had a cold beer and yummy salad lunch 
for 12 Real about R48. The sea is so wonderful to swim in.
 Both mornings the 'spinning' dolphins came through the bay. 
They jump up spinning, wonderful to see. So now we 
are off to Fortaleza. Good wind, speed 8 knots, 
Searenity has her Spinnaker up and is far ahead.
