RECIFE CABANGA BOAT CLUB

We are currently in the Cabanga boat club. It’s a tad tricky to get down the the club. Can only be done at high tide. There is a team on hand to guide you into the club and assist to tie up. Mooring is done stern too and it’s a stressful episode as it’s a very tight fit. The club offers clean showers, two lovely restuarts, pool and kiddies pool, bbq facilities. Staff are super friendly. We have not ventured into town yet but will fill you all in in due course.

About: “Checking in with the Policia Federal is only necessary when entering or leaving the country.”

I understand that here there is an error of interpretation, this rule should be referred to the customs, where it is mandatory to process in the first and last port of Brazil, without exceeding the term granted by the sailboat visa.
The federal police must be visited in each port that is reached, as well as on their departure.
On the other hand it should be added that the beaches of Recife are at risk of shark attacks, about two attacks per year since there are records. Many of the public beaches have nets to prevent the arrival of sharks. Therefore, isolated beaches are not recommended and swimming in open waters.
The works in the port of Suape and its impact on the ecosystem are suspected of having changed the eating habits of sharks.
