Day 39 Fortaleza

Time for a chart again for those who have no idea where we are.

Day 38, Fortaleza

We are now in Fortaleza, Northern Brazil. Our mooring is in a marina of The Marina Club Hotel. We have full access to the hotel facilities which includes a wonderful huge swimming pool. We also get free wifi on the boat! Its great to chill on land for a change. We have been warned not to leave the hotel on foot at night, very dangerous in this area! Went to the market and its full of clothing, lace work, hammocks, leather handbags and shoes. More exploring today, we will be here till Sat.

Spinning Dolphins

This was taken while moored in Fernado de Naronha. They are Spinning Dolphins! The red barge came past our boat so I filmed them swimming on the bow. The Dolphins came through the bay both mornings at 7am.

Widow view

This is the view that I had of Fernado de Noronha island from our bathroom.

Rainbow Runner

We caught this pretty fish called a 'rainbow runner' 80cm, with blue and yellow stripes on its side. Great eating, open on the braai.

Arriving in Fernando de Noronha

This is the Searenity crew in the beach buggy taxi. Good fun.

Landing fish

Catching fish is one thing but landing them is not so easy. You will see on the video the first Dorado took the line against the propeler and was lost. The other was pulled up, the gaff we have is too large and not sharp enough. Always a good adrenalin rush. Remember the boat is moving everywhere as the engines are off.
