land fall! rio de janeiro, brazil (2-day pit stop to refuel & recharge)

What a dream for climbers - the big granite walls rising up from the sea as you approach Rio. James always wanted to sail into this port and climb Sugarloaf.

We decided to make a quick 2-day pit stop in Rio to avoid 48 hours of predicted NE head-winds rounding Cabo Frio. Lots of traffic along the coast north of Punta del Este (AIS going crazy); and a big active oil field off the cape to avoid.

We had the option of heaving two for those 48 hours, then push onward or taking an out of the way left and sail into Rio. Always hard to make a stop when we are caught up in the momentum of sailing a long passage. As much as we wanted to continue on, we decided that refueling, topping off water & resting would benefit us for the remainder of our passage north to the Caribbean.

argentine pesos to uruguayan pesos to gelato

When you live on a boat with no refrigeration, the first order of business after making landfall and doing all the clearance paperwork is trading in your previous currency for new currency for gelato. Tormentina seeing not money, but gelato at the currency exchange stand.

clearance punta del este, uruguay

Punta del Este / Maldonado Department / URUGUAY (March 2017)

After our first passage in nearly 3 years, our family was ecstatic to make landfall in Uruguay. All of the anxiety and fears that had felt so powerful & overwhelming before we left port were erased immediately once we were at sea.

We had 13 magical days with our family aboard Anasazi Girl. With each additional mile we made north along the coast of Argentina, there grew a simulataneous confidence in ourselves as sailors, and trust in the boat and the new rig.

We walked our happy salty family from the port to the prefectura, customs & immigration offices on the waterfront of Punta del Este to make clearance. We got 90 days as tourists, and we were told by customs that the boat could stay indefinitely. What a gift!!
