Hi everyone!
Now we are installed in Natal.
We are anchored outside Iate Club do Natal. A nice
Yacht Club with pool and a nice restaurant.
Today sunday they had a regatta. Anything that
could float was there..Snipe, a couple of Hobies,
an old 470 and some keelboats looking like
wrecks.
After finish they had prize giving with
lunch .Music Corps dressed in white uniforms entertained

Eric organised a rental car yesterday and we made a
trip to Pipa, the most famous resort in the area.
It´s situated 80km south of
Natal. . A bumpy road with a loat of road bumps coming from nowhere.
Pipa is a nice little town with good
beaches,lots of tourist shops and restaurants.
We had a swim and lunch. Grilled garlic shrimps,
delicious.
Back in the darkness and more bumps, our heads hit in the ceiling more than
once.

In the evening we went to Ponta Negra the bar and restaurant district. We
had a fantastic dinner and
mingled for a while.The english language is not popular here and our
portuguese is limited
so we have certain communication problems.
This morning it was 37 degrees. Puh !The river where we are lying does
not invite to swimming so we will go to a nearby beach to cool off in the
30 degree water.
On tuesday we will leave for next destination, Joao Pessoa about 80 Nm
south of here.   Polishing before arrival in
Natal.
