Almost there

24 00.138 S, 45 43.579 W

We have about 25 nautical miles to go to get to Ilhabela. We have been sailing most of the time but this morning around 8:15 am we decided to furl the sails and turn on the engine as the winds were dying.

Last night was fairly uneventful except for the occasional flash of lightening in the distance, so I put the electronics back in the microwave just to be safe. We are looking forward to arriving and getting settled for a few days. It might be a little tricky as it is Carnival and our Portuguese is less than perfect, so we will see. Our sailmaker, Gabriel, of North Sails, provided some suggestions but also with a note that no English is spoken.

Should be interesting.....
