Enjoy.

Our new guest Frank arrived onboard today. Marcus and I left Itaparíca at 8am in the morning and arrived just in time at 11am at the pier in Salvador. Frank came in at 11:30am. It took him the day today to come down from work - like everyone who comes from the stress back home. We understand he likes our beautiful Alita. After a quick unpacking we headed to see the lighthouse el Faro de Barra, the oldest lighthouse on the continent, the first one in Brazil, and was built in 1696 in the fort Santo Antonio da Barra (built 1583-1587). From there we walked to a good place to have Acaí, which was our lunch before the big grocey shopping act. The whole trunk of the taxi was full as we bought as much as possible already for the next 3 weeks. The only thing we have to buy during the trip is once in a while fruits, vegetables and fresh meat (of we don't catch fish). We have all the rest on board, we can't starve ;-).

Tomorrow we head for Morro de Sao Paulo and then continue south. We have 3 weeks to get to Rio, around 750nm. A trip with a mixtures of long sailing passages and some relaxing days in bays. I won't have internet the next couple of days, so don't worry if you don't read a report.
