Marina Park Hotel Marina
This was the first time all on board had been to Brazil, South America. We arrived at the Marina Park Hotel marina in Fortaleza at 10am on Friday morning and did the necessary paraphernalia. After completing all the paperwork, our first job ashore was to get the required 420lt of diesel we needed from the fuel station which is a 500 meter walk from the marina. We had to fill our 16 drums and carry them by hand back to the yacht, in hot and humid temperatures. On finishing that particular job we treated ourselves to a well earned cool down and ran for the beautiful pool in the hotel within the marina complex.
Saturday was spent driving around to find the required oil filters we needed and some provisioning before going back to the yacht and servicing the engine and carrying out other maintenance checks for the next leg. Moored alongside us at the marina was a Brazilian named John, a yachtie who had taken time out from a business trip to prepare his yacht for a voyage to the Caribbean. A BBQ was planned for Saturday evening and John brought along a huge amount of Argentinian beef. All the yachties were invited to partake in the festivities and bring snacks and drinks. Our contribution included meat from our freezer which we defrosted and marinated. Also, a fresh hot loaf of garlic bread was baked to compliment our delicious fresh salads.
There was quite a cross section of nationalities there, Japanese, French, Yugoslavian, German, Maltese, Brazilian and the good ole Saffers from SA. The evening was enjoyed by all under clear skies and a beautiful full moon. We retired early as were were departing early the next morning and didn't want to be 'under the weather'. Most of the other yachts are departing in a flotilla on the 25th November and heading first to Tobago and then other Carribean destinations.
When we departed on Sunday morning following a hearty breakfast at the Marina Park Hotel, there was cheering a well wishes from the other sailors on the dock.
