You reap what you sow

Local: Saco do Céu - Ilha Grande - Angra dos Reis - RJ

Today's backyard: Ilhabela/SP

    Today our yard is a rainy day in Sao Sebastiao Island, known as Ilhabela, north coast of Sao Paulo state. the Island is  in front of Sao Sebastiao city at the continent (photo above).

 We are at the  Iate Clube de Santos (Santos Yacht Club), in Ilhabela.

Cordial service, taxi boat service until midnight, warm swimming pool, jacuzzi, a modern elevator to climb up and down the club and a transfer to the historical center of Ilhabela (but we didn't use to have  some walking exercise).

At the center yesterday we spend some time in the cute and comfortable coffee and book store 'Ponto das Letras', and in the local handcraft commerce.

Rescuing the Turtle

Rescuing a Turtle in Parnaioca Beach, Ilha Grande island, Angra dos Reis. 

We saw a sad scene last sunday when there were many vultures waiting for a turtle to die. It had been washed up by the waves to the beach and was looking like a dead animal but it wasn't. Immediately Pieter picked up the turtle and put it back into the water. 

Maybe the turtle wanted to die but this time it got one more chance (or choice).

Today's backyard

Since we had a cute 12 years old boy onboard (and we miss you kid!) who used to wake up at 5:30am, I'm now enjoying very much to wake up very early. So here are some pictures of our today's backyard at sunrise.

Today's yard is Ilha de Itanhangua, Angra dos Reis - RJ, about 6:15am.

 Then I found a little dog at the beach... Could he be mine? Nope, he's already someone else's angel.

And a dead dolphin... sorry about that, so sad.

 Big starfish.

And to be complete, the snorkeling collecting garbage, plus a land expedition.

Carpe diem and have a good day!
