we're off . . .	. . . this way . . .	the 'schooner' that we didn't go on because of the bad weather
all aboard the ferry boat...	... as Florianópolis bridge...	...fades into the distance.

islands ahoy....	the Brazilian flag rules the waves	the historic fortress...
...and a more fortified angle...	... and a history lesson (the replacement 'schooner' in the background)	then up we go...
... and on up	Frigate birds	wildife in the fort

a moth with 'eyes'	back to the boat in sunny Brazil....	across the water, outside the cafe after lunch
and off again, a Dutch coloniser on the jetty from the cafe	England and Spain at sea together	the 2nd island

keeping watch for the Portuguese	whale bones in the musem	colonial mansion
setting off home	Hazel with our tour guide and some of the local school party that shared the boat	A Spaniard at the helm...

...in Portuguese waters!	The 'schooner' that we should have been on passes us (really just a motor boat with fake sails....)	the scene on board
now teaching them English	Captain Gunter...	....steers us home

swapping email addresses	land ahoy . . .	. . . downtown . . .
	. . . Florianópolis
