Weatherbound - Paraty
05/12/08 20:40 Filed in: Brazil | Ilha Grande
It looks as though the weather should improve and Saturday so I penciled in an afternoon departure for Saturday.
This morning I weighed anchor and went over to Porto Imperial to top up with fuel and water. Unfortunately they were all out of diesel so I went and anchored off Paraty jetty.
Coming back from a run ashore I noticed a junk rigged Vertue 25 "Speedtest Hong Kong" anchored nearby. Her South African skipper, Shirley, came over for chat. She is single handing and also bound for Buenos Aires.
I had last seen this boat in Salvador back in April.
