Salvador,
Brazil
After
a pleasing 15 day passage across the Atlantic, including a couple of days in the
windless doldrums, Fallado makes a landfall in Brazil. Exotic African and Latin
rhythms merge in the fascinating city of Salvador. From our anchorage at the salubrious
Iate Club of Bahia, we explore the city and spend a lot of time just taking in
the completely "new to us" Brazilian culture, that is literally
pulsating all around us. As well as restocking Fallado, we tinker with some
improvements, scouring interesting shops in even more interesting back streets
for various parts. Klaus and Johanna, from the German yacht Ole Hoop help us to
construct a vertical antenna from a carbon fibre fishing rod, which markedly improves
our ham and single sideband radio communications.
