Galeão to Canavieiras
I had stored a GPS track for this route when we went to São Sebastiao last sunday.
We left Galeão on a flooding tide at 12:40 and it was simply a matter of following the track closely. Although the Canal de Taperoa and Canal de Tinharé, through which we passed, are mostly deep there are shallow patches where deviating from the track would result in a grounding. Kiriwina seemed to be a bit underpowered so it was not a fast trip and the engine raced from time to time.
A palm lined beach en route.
Following Ron's boat.
Overtaken by a commercial river boat.
It was possible to sail from time to time but mostly the wind was on the nose. After anchoring at Canavieiras at 15:40 I dived down to find the propellor badly fouled with barnacles and other growth. It got a good clean.
Floating oyster bars at Canavieiras.
Afterwards we dinghied across to one of the floating oyster bars. There are oyster farms nearby so the oysters served are about as fresh as you can get. One could have oysters raw with lime juice or cooked with cheese. I had both options.
Relaxing in a hammock at the oyster bar.
