At the end of our stay in Brazil, Silvio asked us if we would write a report for Noonsite (a widely read sailing website).
Of course we would!
Here he is:
Sailing adventure BRAZIL – interesting, exotic, feel-good !
Land in sight! Fernando de Noronha – our gateway to Brazil and South America. 1524 miles and that magic line called the Equator are now behind us, as is the small country of Gambia, in West Africa, from which we departed 15-1/2 days ago. Hundreds of spinner dolphins now cordially welcome us into the bay of Fernando de Noronha, as so do the people of the island. This small archipelago, located 190 miles off the Brazilian coast, impresses us with its friendliness, openness, simplicity and helpfulness, as well as its cleanliness (their slogan is “no plastic”) and its lush greenery.
