Sailing

This past weekend I went sailing. Well, to be more specific, I sat in the boat while the people who knew what they were doing did the actual sailing.
We left Saturday afternoon, racing in a regatta to the island of Itaparica, across the bay from Salvador.

Here is a picture of some boats....some "rustic" sailboats:

On Itaparica:

If you look closely, that's a person walking on a sandbar, and a boat stuck on the sandbar:

Stopping for a drink:

I just like this house:Leaving the island (those are people playing soccer on the beach):
