Trinidade Island, Brazil

Alex checking the straps on the main sail
We stopped at Trinidade Island on 6th April 2014, 1,396 nautical miles en-route from St Helena to Brazil to repair the straps on the main sail and to top up our diesel. 

Ilha da Trindade  is a volcanic island situated 1,170 kilometres east of Vitória, State of Espírito Santo, Southeast Brazil in the Atlantic Ocean.

We picked up a mooring buoy (S 20.30.193 W 29.18.928) but later realised that it was not connected to anything and we drifted about half a nautical mile. No biggie!

Our crew certainly enjoyed the break. A quick swim in the pristine waters was just what they needed to reenergize their spirits.

Several hours later, we resumed our voyage bound for Bracuhy Marina, Angra Dos Reis.
