Yesterday we left Clube Naval Charitas and stopped across the way at the fuel dock to top off our tanks and by 9:30am we were on our way leaving Rio de Janeiro. We had hoped to sail to Buzios but it was not in the cards. It did seem like a lot of large ship traffic was going the same direction which makes AIS very helpful.
We had a small tern come and hitchhike for a while, sitting on the lifelines on the port side foredeck. He/she was with us for several hours.
Early this morning we had to slow down so that we had more daylight for our entry to Buzios. The town is a popular vacation spot. Unfortunately we did not see any open moorings so we are anchored but don't feel comfortable leaving the boat if the winds change.
But the gribs look promising, so we will relax and then tonight we will continue northward to Vitoria, a 190 nautical miles away.
