Last Day - Fortaleza
Check
out Day. I took a taxi to the Policia Federal where an exit permit
was quickly issued. This time I was able to walk along inside the
dock security area to Receita Federal where another exit permit was
issued.
Submarine conning tower in a park just outside the port office complex.
Then I took another taxi to the Capitania dos Portos where my form was stamped. Formalities over. This was a much faster process than when we had arrived.
The rest of the day was spent preparing for sea including topping up with fresh water. Our new centre tank still leaks but it was topped up anyway. A quick visit to Pao de Azucar for some fresh food and we were ready. Mooring cost for 4 weeks R$500.
I can't stay that I particularly enjoyed Fortaleza hope Recife will be an improvement.
