We arrived on Sunday and anchored off the beach north of the Ilhabela yacht club for two nights. Now we are on a mooring with the yacht club.
Ilhabela is an island just off
Sao Sebastian. It is a very popular spot for vacationing and boating. Sailboats, powerboats - large and small,
Jetskis, dingies, classic yachts abound. Unfortunately a lot of their activities churns up the water making it rolly at times. There is not much in the way of etiquette in the mooring field. Speed boats zip by at 5 plus knots until they get to the dock only a few yards away from us.
The hillsides are filled with homes and hotels in between the palm trees and dense vegetation all very green and lush.
It is a balmy 93 degrees but feels like 101, at least according to the weather channel. When we go into town we hope to find places with air conditioning.
Tomorrow the sailmaker is supposed to come and help take off the old main so he can remove some of the sail hardware like the battens and batten cars and move to the new sail.
We are having a few problems with the alternator and the pressure water system that we need to work as well. It is always something.
