Daysail to Ponto Do Curral
A trip had been arranged to Ponto do Curral about 6 miles down river from Galeao.
Ron and Marli went on Sula and I went with my guest crew for the day Marilza who is a friend of Marli.
Our anchorage on the inside of Ponto do Curral.
Ponto do Curral is a narrow spit opposite Morro de Sao Paulo. On one side is the river sea canal where we anchored and on the other side is the ocean.
Günter had to leave yesterday as he needed to reach Porto Seguro in order to meet his girlfriend Marianne. He phoned when not far from Ilhéus.
Hola Günter
Brazilian bikinis are not known for their large expanses of fabric and Marilza's was no exception.
I was told, however that there are ones even smaller than these that are known as "dental floss". My Tilley hat looks pretty good too.
At the entrance to this waterway is a very large sandbank which is mostly submerged at high water. However the river is silting up and the sandbank is getting larger. We went for a walkabout at low water.
Ron landing his dinghy.
It was a lovely sunny day. We did some walking, swam a bit and generally relaxed.
Marilza had to get the bus back to town from a nearby village. She passed dinghy competent crew with flying colours. Here she is driving the dinghy ashore.

Our two boats remained at anchor over night and returned to Galeao this afternoon.
