A Week In Sao Fran

Rebel's new home for the next 3 months

We've had a busy but productive week here in Sao Francisco Do Sul, getting everything on the boat cleaned and stowed. On monday, we had our own mooring put in in the yacht club of the national maritime museum here in Sao Francisco.

Mainsail offToday we went alongside the pontoon - our first time in nearly a year - and got all the sails off and sprayed everything down.

Everything stowed away for the winterSo we're pretty much all set for leaving this weekend. After deciding that taking the bus is probably the safer choice over flying, we've booked our route out - saturday night we leave here for Joinville, then hop on another bus to some other place I can't even remember the name of. Then we kill the night somehow and on Sunday morning get on a coach that goes all the way through to Buenos Aires, arriving some time unsociable Sunday night.

Oh, and here's a video of Antonio's grandma doing our laundry:

Hi Nick and John
I posted way back that when you arrived in Buenos Aires you should meet up with my mate Dan who is the BBC correspondent for South America and lives right there. When I saw him a little while ago he said it would be great to meet up, show you around and so on. Let me know if you are interested and he will get in touch.
Cheers!

PS. What about some updates?
