Itaparica to Salvador
19/08/08 22:03 Filed in: Brazil | On Passage
There was no great rush to get away. We had decided to sail over to Salvador and anchor for the night off Centro Nautico.
I cleared Itaparica Marina at 14:00, a few minutes after Günter on Cora-Mae. Once we rounded the top of Itaparica island we could see it was going to be a long afternoon. The win was dead on the nose from Salvador.
After two very long tacks and a couple of shorter ones I arrived off Centro Nautico at 20:30 having sailed all the way. Günter arrived earlier and had arranged to use moorings in the anchorage at a cost of R$5.00 and I was all fast on my buoy at 20:40.
