Rio Grande to Enseada Pinheira - Day 6
15/11/11 11:46 Filed in: Brazil | On Passage
Our course rounded Ilha Coral then proceeded roughly NW to the entrance to Enseada Pinheira.
A fairly straightforward approach with some added complications. It was pitch black, no moon and continuous light rain with restricted visibility at times.
Beyond Ilha Coral there were no lights of navigation aids of any sort. There is a large rock at the surface near the middle of the entrance. I simply followed my GPS course in and in the event arrived safely.
We anchored off Pinheira village at 02:00 IN 4.4 metres of water. There was a low residual swell making it's way into the bay. Of to my bunk for a good sleep.
