Enfim chegamos a Recife. Nosso veleiro Onda Boa já no Cabanga Iate Clube cuidando dos ultimos detalhes para a Regata Internacional Recife - Fernando de Noronha, a Refeno 2012, que terá sua largada em 13 de outubro.
A Marinha já esteve a bordo. Acho que o Onda Boa foi o primeiro de mais de 100 barcos inscritos a receber a tradicional inspeção. Estamos entre as primeiros 10 embarcações que já chegaram. O clube é excelente, atendimento simpático do pessoal, tem piscina, sauna, quadras esportivas, academia completa com instrutores, restaurantes, churrasqueiras... mas o mais divertido é o grande encontro de velejadores de todos os estilos e nacionalidades, que vão todos juntos conhecer um lugar dos sonhos de todo aventureiro, o arquipélago de águas cristalinas de Fernando de Noronha. Sem falar na simpatia do pessoal aqui, nós mal colocamos nosso "nariz" (gurupés) dentro de Recife chegando aqui domingo quase de noite e com chuva depois de uma travessia intensa, e já recebemos cordialmente uma ajuda pelo VHF de um outro catamarã, o Zen, entrando no canal no mesmo momento que a gente: "Atento Onda Boa, está chegando pra Refeno? Precisam de alguma orientação para chegar ao Cabanga?"
:o)
Bons ventos a todos que estão chegando.

So we did arrive in Recife. The Onda Boa already at the Cabanga Iate Clube, and we are taking care of the details with regards the International Regata Recife- Fernando de Noronha (Refeno 2012), which will start on Oct 13th.
We already were visited by the Marine, and think that we were the first of abt 100 vessels to get inspected. With us are 10 other vessels that will participate and arrived before us. The Yacht club is great, excellent service and helpfull staff, a pool, sauna, soccer, tennis and other sport spaces, a well equipped gym with trainers, restaurants, bbq locations... but the best thing is meeting the other sailboats and their crews of different places and nationalities, all going to explore and adventure the dream location with its pristine clear waters of Fernando de Noronha.
When we were arriving in Recife, just turning into the inside waterway (with some wind and some rain), after a heroic passage from Maceio to Recife (115 nm), we were greeted over the VHF radio by another sailing Cat (Zen) who was just behind us: " Atention Onda Boa, you guys are going to participate at the Refeno?" You need some help to get to the Cabanga Iate Clube?...." Actualy we didnt, but it was a very nice welcome.
Anyway, fair winds to all who are arriving in Recife.
