On our way to Ilhabela

25 32.815 S, 047 00.670 W

Yesterday morning we raised anchor and went to the fuel dock at the yacht club. We filled our fuel tanks and got some water too then headed off. We are glad we were putting Porto Belo behind us as the storm clouds moved in. As we headed north we could hear the thunder. Late last night and very early this morning we saw flashes of lightening in the distance to port. I gathered the small electronics, put them in an anti-static bag and then in the microwave to keep them safe in case we were struck. All is well on that.

We hope to reach Ilhabela on Sunday afternoon. We will be arriving during Carnival so much will be closed but it should be interesting.

Right now we have a large pod of dolphins swimming and jumping in the air by the boat. They sure look like they are having fun.

Cheers,
Elaine and Rich
