We are still at sea off the Brazilian coast but will be arriving in Fortaleza around 6pm. We will spend the night here and depart tomorrow at 3pm. It is still smooth sailing today with overcast skies now, very humid, and 88F. We are only 3 degrees south of the Equator now. We will be on the Equator on Saturday when we enter the Amazon River. I have always wanted to sail up the Amazon so getting excited.
Another lazy day at sea for us just relaxing. Rebecca worked out but I took the day off. We did not get our soft shell crabs last night but have been assured we will have them tonight. Will share them with Rich and Carol from Colorado. They are "rounders" also. Tonight's show will be by a local Fortaleza folkloric music and dance group so should be good one.
Satellite is not doing well today. Lost our news networks, ie Fox News. The internet has been in and out also. I called my mother this morning to check on things up in Illinois. All is well.
