Check In
Today I did the usual round of visits to the Police Federal, Receita Federal and Capitania dos Portos. It didn't take long and I was able to get some charts I needed from the Capitania dos Portos. Here the Receita Federal did not want to see us saying they were only interested in our final departure from Brazil.
Beautifully kept grounds and buildings housing the Brazilian Navy regional office.
Even the paving has a naval theme.
More of the navy compound. Within a few minutes of this naval base the street is unsafe to walk day or night.
New yachts arrive and others depart. The overwhelming majority of boats here are french. I saw the french yacht we had moored alongside in Mindelo, Cape Verdes. He had had to motor for 5 days through the doldrums while we crossed further west and sailed right through
