Yesterday, 1/31, we had hoped to get out early but first we had to go to the bank and then find the fuel dock. We had general idea where is was. There was a Shell station sign which we believed pointed the way. Not, it was the dock with the sign Posto Marine. Any way the Brazilian fishermen whose boat we rafted to, and to find where the fuel dock was were very nice and helpful even though they did not speak any English or Spanish. It took a lot of our communication skills.
The fuel dock was fine and we filled most of our jerry jugs. We went to pay but we did not have exact change, so we gave a bit larger amount. The attendant was very concerned about this until we explained that we did not need the four dollars worth of change.
So now we are northbound again. We would like to go all the way to Ilhabela which is about 640 nautical miles. If not, the Stormies suggested an anchorage near the north side of Ihla de Santa Catarina, about 400 miles.
We will check the gribs daily and let you know.
