We anchored infront of Jacare Yacht Village with about 10 yachts on anchor, and a few on the pontoons. The holding ground wasn`t too bad, although a yacht dragged early morning. I think the tide is so strong and accompanied with the wind, that it puts the anchor under a lot of stress. We paid 100 reals/R400 per week to make use of the dinghy dock. There is shower and laundry facilities and a restaurant and wifi. The evening we went to the Yacht Club and met a lot of yachties, enjoying strong caipirinhas, with the French, the Germans, the Dutch and Canadians. Before long it was a buzz of stories...
Johan and I walked to the Police Federal the next morning, while Marco joined his long lost French friends and Joe checked out the internet facilities at the Marina. After quite a walk the paper work went smoothly. You can buy fresh bread and drinking water and just the necessities from a little shop up the street. We gave our empty gas bottle in at the Yacht Club, because we miss our little braai. As soon as we receive it back, I`ll be able to tell you the cost, because the boys didn`t ask.
