2/28 and 2/28 Sailing to Fortelaza, Brazil

We have had two glorious days at sea.  We kept very busy with lectures, a tasting of wine and chocolates for Tom, bingo for Noel, a comedy magician, and local folk dancers for entertainment, wonderful meals and the company of new friends.  (We also won trivia again today!)

We have had some interesting sights the last two days, many small sea birds called masked boobies that are very curious and come right up to the ship skimming the water looking for fish and we are also amazed at the number of very small fishing boats that are near us, more than 50 miles from land.

It is becoming obvious that as we head north we are nearing the equater again.  For the first time in over a month the wind is from the south and it has become much warmer and more humid.
