Another bus trip into Paraty. Mainly to take advantage of the laundry I noticed yesterday next to the bus station.
Outstanding service. A 2 1/2 hour turnaround.
While wandering about I met Bernadette and Ronaldo, a german/brazillian couple who were based in Itaparica when I was there. They are now running charters on their yacht Leoaloucal based at Marina Engenho and I caught the bus back with them to the first marina, Porto Imperial.
From there we returned in their dinghy. A useful recce of the channel into Porto Imperial where I want to take bunkers. This is not in my charts and a marked channel needs to be followed to avoid offlying rocks.
