Fortaleza skyline


This is a small section of the Fortaleza skyline with a local fishing boat. (Photo from Johan).

We went shopping yesterday to restock, as food in the Carribean is costly. Bought the local favourite meat, Sirloin and did it on the braai! It was fantastic. The meat is really good quality.

Also bought the local cooldrink, Guarana, made from a red fruit the size of a cocktail tomato.
The Avo's are huge, also got great Mango and Pawpaw. Can't buy too much as with this heat it ripens so fast and fridge space is limited.
Washed the boat today and I did the stainless steel and windows.
Tomorrow we leave for Iles du Salut off French Guyane. It will take us 6 days at sea. We will stay far off shore so as to miss any debris coming into the sea from the Amazon River.
