Sailing Saoirse - Cabedelo, Brazil 🇧🇷⛵️

Exploring Brazil 🇧🇷
We’ve been in Cabedelo for nearly 2 months now!! Amazing how the time flies when you are having fun😉
Marina Jacare Village has been a home away from home. We have been exploring the larger area of Cabedelo and Joao Pessoa, visiting the old historical areas, the fresh food market and the beach.
If you are heading across to Brazil and looking for a place to stop off, Marina Jacare Village is awesome, we introduce Nicolas Tiphagne, the owner, and he will tell you about what he has on offer in this little spot, where you can come to relax and unwind after a long ocean crossing or even just a short hop up the coast. Nicolas will help you with getting cleared into Brazil, which we were very intimidated by initially but was a relatively easy process.
Marina Jacare village has dock berths, swing moorings and a yard where yachts with a draft less than 2m and under 14 tons can be hauled out and stored or worked on. The clubhouse is an open concept that is an amazing cool place to be in the heat of the day. There is a kitchen/restaurant that cooks amazing, well priced meals and cocktails. The swimming pool is a great place to wallow and the beaches are a short 2.5km walk/Uber/taxi drive away.
Nic is not adverse to you bringing up your sewing machine and setting up for a few hours to do any boat sewing and repairs that you need to carry out but have no space on board to do. He also will hook you up with the local sailmaker if you have bigger jobs to deal with.
There is a very convenient laundry on site and a small book exchange which is awesome to swop out all the books you bought along on your trip, have finished reading and are looking to replace.
Our stay here has been great, in fact we have delayed leaving and changed our plans twice already but we will need to up-anchor soon to continue exploring.
