Buzios, Rio de Janeiro, Brazil

Buzios
We departed Rio de Janeiro on 13th August 2014, 66 nautical miles later, we anchored at Ilha do Cabo Frio for the night.  

The next day, in cold and miserable weather, we motor-sailed another 20 nautical miles and arrived at Buzios. We picked up a yellow mooring (S 22.44.889 W 41.53.019) and stayed here for 5 days.

Buzios was a peaceful little fishing village until it was made famous by Brigitte Bardots stay in the 1960s. Now its a high profile and popular tourist resort in Brazil.

Shaped like a horseshoe, and apparently one of the beaches with the coldest water of Búzios

We also attended the Blues & Jazz festival at Rio Das Ostras & Tartaruga. Big thanks to Fred and his friend for taking us there.
