So, we are leaving in the morning. It has been a good few day on Fernando, a little bit expensive but well worth the visit. Managed to buy some diesel and get emails home to say all is good, which is really the purpose of the visit. We spent most of our time on the boat but when we went ashore, we went to this one little bar. The bar is a wooden boat with a bell and steering wheel, rather authentic really. On top of this it served Capirinhi, a Brazilian drink made out of Cachaca, limes, and crushed ice. Cachaça (also called pinga, caninha, aguardente, cana, or mé) is the most popular distilled alcoholic beverage in Brazil. The average Brazilian drinks about three gallons of Cachaça annually.[1] Cachaça is, "...the product of the distillation of fermented sugarcane juice, with its alcohol strength between 38% and 48% by volume.
