On the water




Today we took a boat ride around two of the "off" islands and the length of the northwest coastline facing Brazil (but 300 miles away). Our captain and mate were Rudolfo, who hailed from Receife (but has been in these waters over 20 years, and Kaia, a native islander who is one of the island's surfing champions. They know these waters! We ran with several hundred dolphins, but it is hard to catch moving dolphins above the water with a camera. Rudolfo prepared a delicious sushi, and a fish stew (onions, potatoes, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, and freshly caught fish all included) for lunch - mmmmm! The frigate birds loved a few morsels of sushi scraps.
