Cidade Baixa

After my first attempt at a run ashore yesterday ended in rapid retreat I confined my movements to the marina and immediate environs.


Neglected buildings in Cidade Baixa.

Manfred Marktel, the distinguished Austrian yachtsman and writer who has covered 120,000 miles in his 36ft steel yacht Maus is moored here. He recently completed a solo round trip from Salvador to South Georgia. He gave me a well produced film and photo library of this trip.
