Bahia Samara 30eth March 2012


We left Bahia Brasilito before six o'clock and before sunrise yesterday, as we had 54 Miles to sail and the cruising guide book said that you should not approach the next anchorage after dark as the anchorage is surrounded by reefs. I am glad it was still light when we arrived!!
We did very well in the morning as we did 30 miles in 3-4 hours with gusts up to 28 knots per hour. In the afternoon the wind died and we struggled to reach the anchorage before dark.
But we made it! Looking around it was quite dramatic with all the breaking water over the reefs.

This morning we went ashore to this beautiful wide beach. Two white horses roomed!
It was really hot, but we ventured up into this small village.
We found 'an oasis' in the hot jungle and had lunch and cool drinks.

Hibiscus flower.












The explorer was happy when he saw his ship again.
