We were waiting for 2 weather systems to come through. The southerly one has come through. Now the weather is swinging and wind will be blowing the rain into the boat from the other direction. Yesterday (before we turned the boat around on the jetty), we had a little precursor downpour - it was blowing the rain straight in the spray dodger (about 2 metres) into the saloon. The little prelude of rain and wind also managed to find it´s way into Dael´s cabin from the stern of the boat and soak his mattress. Hhhmmnn, another leak to fix.
We got some very green, hard spinach/cabbage cross thing to stir fry for supper tonight. There is not much choice if you want to eat something green here. Strange as everything grows so fast - I think it grows too fast.. There are very few of the normal types of green in the supermarket. And what is there has already normally either got mold on or is half rotten! Fruit is much the same, with bananas being the most consistently available. So tonight we have chicken stirfry wiht ginger and soya sauce for supper, here the chicken breasts are butchered quite differently - i.e. very seldom sold as fillets, but more often still on the bone, and not seperated - so half a chicken just about. So far they have also been very tough, hopefully tonight we will have a nice suprise.
Will write more tomorrow on our Brazilean observations. Andrew is also going to start blogging, yippee!!!!!!!!
Oh yes, and we still don´t have a water pump, and it doesn´t look like we are going to have one for a little while, as the boys have investigated and it looks electrical. Which means it will have to wait for Buenos Aires it seems. Hohum, living out of water drums it is for us for the next little while!
Oh yes, and (again)we met another wonderful Brazilen today who is coming to give us some software tomorrow for sailing, and have a bite to eat with us. His name is Garcia who owns Garcia Informatica, where we took my computer after Lucy demolished my screen by banging the keyboard ferociously.... actually after taking it to Garcia, I think the screen is on its way out and it was coincidence that Lucy´s screen wacking and the screen´s demise happened at the same time!

Glad to hear that you managed some fishing along the way. Tuna steaks sound good as do the oysters. I'm not food obsessed or anything.
You seem to be having some weather extremes as are we with lots of snow and minus degrees of ice and frost. Love Dad
