Salvador
Today I left Aratu at 06:25 bound for Salvador, arriving at 09:30.
Brazilian law allows a visitor to remain in the country for 6 months in any one calendar year. However a boat may remain for two years provided that it is registered with the authorities as "laid up and not in use" when the owner is away.
Firstly it is necessary to obtain a letter from the relevant mooring installation, in my case Aratu Iate Clube, stating that the yacht is moored and not in use. This must then be endorsed by the Capitania dos Portos and with the ship's papers presented to the Receite General who will open a file and issue a certificate confirming that the yacht is laid up.
I was told to come back and get my certificate tomorrow.

Bar Galicia in the Pelhourino where two bad guys attempted to pick my pockets.
