Timoneer is clear to leave Brazil!
We are just dropping our relief engineer ashore and then we will be off just before sunset.
Salvador has been very trying with it taking me 8 days to clear in to Brazil which then left me an afternoon to try and clear out. It happened with minutes to spare before the offices closed. I have never seen such inefficiency ever before.
Salvador was a very dangerous place outside of the marina. The old town is a UN Heritage site and has security guards on every corner to try and make it safe for tourist.
The crew are all very keen to head to sea and get to Europe. Please follow our progress on the website.
