We're back on the road, as we left Jacare Marina
yesterday at 13.00 hrs and we are now nearly at the most easterly point of
Brazil before we shape a course for St Lucia. It should take a further
fifteen days before we get there. Columba has had a dreadful time with
seasickness but she is perking up a bit. I have a lot of making up to do for her
big birthday (today!) when we get to the Caribbean.
We have had a very modest sail plan so far and at the
moment we only have the main, with the second reef in, but still making 6 knots
in 16-18 knot winds.
I have been in Brazil now for over six weeks and
Columba nearly two, and our memories will be of very helpful and friendly
people. However, this wasn't the experience that everybody on the marina had,
but more of that in the blogs to come.
The last thing today is for me to wish my wife a very
happy birthday, and a speedy recovery.
