Praia dos Manques to Saco do Seu
11/11/08 22:47 Filed in: Brazil | Ilha Grande
Time to move on. I was going to Saco do Ceu (Sky Cove) while Menkar and Tatuaga were going to Angra dos Reis.
Giles and Dominique on Menkar
The two ridges I crossed on Sunday.
Menkar and Tatuaga
Saco do Seu is an almost fully enclosed anchorage on the NE coast of Ilha Grande about 7.5 miles from Praia dos Manques. The wind picked up once clear of Enseada das Palmas and I was able to sail most of the way.
I chose to anchor on the western side of Saco do Ceu off a small fishing village. The cove is surrounded by steep rain forest giving way to mangroves in places along the shore. Where the shore is built up there is an odd mixture of fishing villages and and gated resorts. I went for a quick walk ashore before it started to rain.
Rain forest - Saco do Seu.
