I guess putting a big umbrella on a boat is a good, cheap way to stay cool in the tropical sun.
This was taken in the entrance to Recife harbor.

This is a working sailboat in Recife harbor. Many similar rowboats are used for fishing here. They fish mostly by casting nets. Few of the rowboats have added a sail, like this one did.
The rowboats are simple, wooden, flat-bottom craft.

This is the lighthouse at Recife. Recife, a city of 3.6 million people in the northeast of Brazil, has a harbor that is well-protected by an outer reef.
It was an easy, four-day sail from Salvador to Recife.

We had a very brief conversation with the girl in the picture, but you really need to be pretty good at Portuguese to do much talking in rural Brazil.

Charter sailboat in Maragojiipe. Similar rig (mast from tree) and hull (very wide) to working sailboats.

Could you take time to add a bit of context/history to the posts. Very few words (one additional sentence) would add a bunch for the viewer and in the future when you go back and write your memoirs every small word will be a catalyst for a flood of memories.
thanks again,
no job is too hard for the person that doesn't have to do it!

Loading bricks onto a working sailboat in the wonderfully relaxed market town of Maragojiipe on the Rio Paraguacu. I don't understand why the sails were left up while the boat was at the dock, but the wind was light.

Anchored in the tranquil waters of Rio Paraguacu.
