Ilha Cotia

Another lovely day in paradise so I went for a row around the bay.
This really is a nice spot. The vegetation is rampant colonising every possible bit of space,
including cracks in off-lying rocks.
Giles and Dominique on "Menkar" arrived yesterday and anchored in a bay only "Menkar" with her shoal draft could reach.
I got a lift with them back to the main anchorage against a strengthening headwind. A large Brazilian boat "Arpoadora" had arrived along with many other boats.
"Arpoadora" is a large brazilian motor cruiser complete with flight deck and helicopter. No inconvenient passages to nice places. Simply order the crew to whatever destination required and have the helicopter ferry owners and guests to the boat.
This is obviously a poplar spot with 22 boats currently at anchor at the beginning of the weekend.
