Santo André - Santa Cruz Cabrália - Porto Seguro, Bahia, Brazil

25 nautical miles later, we went into Santo André at high tide but we still hit our bottom several times. We anchored at (S 16.15.127 W 39.00.900).

Santo André is another small quiet village, located about 35 km from Porto Seguro, the main city of the region.

About 25 mins walk away from Gaivota, a restaurant in Santo André, we caught the ferry to Santa Cruz Cabrália.

Ferry "terminal" from Santa Andre - Just a landing for the ferry and everyone waits by the roadside

Artistic! It looks as if they built the wall around the bicycle
Dried (cabaça) - used to make a Berimbau which is a single‑string percussion instrument, a musical bow from Brazil
The Berimbau is a single-string percussion instrument, a musical bow, from Brazil. Although it could've been originated from Africa. This instrument is played with the martial art capoeira, which is a mix of acrobatic movements and dance with music. The berimbau (the soul of capoeira) leads the capoeiristas movements - the faster the berimbau is played the faster the capoeirista moves. 

We also visited Porto Seguro, a neighbour of Santa Cruz Cabralia, which is located far south of Bahia, Brazil.
