We stayed one more night at Paraty as Rich had to change some bolts that hold the alternator in place. It was nice to have free wifi from Marina 188 as well.
This morning we left around 9:30 am and it was a motor with no wind all the way to Ilha Grande, about 36 nautical miles. We are anchored at Seco do Ceu, or inlet of the stars. Rumor has it that the water is so still at night you can see the reflection of the stars. So we are going to check in out and will let you know. The inlet has a few restaurants and a resort or two. We have seen a few tour boats come through. The rest is dense jungle. Some friends of our say there are monkeys on the island. I went swimming after we got settled and the water is about 87 degrees F, like a bathtub, but nice after the hot day motoring.
There is a Brazilian couple also anchored here. Noosa, paddled over on her kayak and we chatted for a bit. They are from Sao San Francisco and are slowly working their way north. She gave us some information about Ilha Grande.
We are trying to decide if we should get up early tomorrow morning and head to Rio de Janeiro, some 67 nautical miles or to wait a day and then go. Have to look at the gribs and decide.
