| Anchorage at Itaparica |
We anchored on a sand bank in 0.5m of water in the northern tip of
Itaparica island, 10 miles away from Salvador (S 12.53.457 W 38.41.133) on 2nd October 2014. It's a calm sheltered
anchorage just opposite the marina in a little town with white sandy beaches and pristine waters.
We stayed 13 days here and really enjoyed it. The view of the sandbanks at low tide is beautiful.

The horses were up to their necks in water at high tide but did not seem to mind. The town of Itaparica is laid back and peaceful.

| Cleaned the hulls at low tide |
Of course it wasn't all play and no work in paradise. We took the opportunity to clean our hulls at low tide, made a new clip for the WAECO fridge door and fixed our ICEER fridge door too. As you know, we fix and repair things at exotic locations. That's what we do!
