Anchored Off Itaparica

We’ve been anchored off the town of Itaparica, on the island of Itaparica across the Bay (Bahia de Todos os Santos) from the City of Salvador. The beaches on the island can be very crowded with tourist from Salvador but the  small bay where we are anchored is away from the crowds and very pleasant. There are several cruising boats here and we’ve enjoyed meeting cruisers, all from Europe. Most of them have been cruising Brazil for several years.

It’s been nice getting out of the big city and enjoying the more rural life. Unfortunately we must continue moving south and will go to Salvador on Monday to check-out and head for Camamu, a pleasant river about 60 miles south that we can get into and anchor. I will try and send photos and more detailed stories next opportunity I get but that might not be until we reach Vitoria in about 10 days.
