Ocean Planet (tal gal) anchored at Ilha Grande


Surely one of the joys of owning a yacht is when you arrive in a bay we all call Peters Place,Ilha Grande,Brasil,which is about sixty miles south of Rio de Janerio,some pictures just look right,this is one of them? Google Earth shows that the bay,which is at 23.09'19s 44.07' 36w is still unspoilt and undeveloped with just one extra cottage built in some 25 years,even Peters Ham Radio Shack still exists,you can find it by following a dirt track to the top of a hill,its just possible to see where Peter Thurridl (call sign PY1ZAK) used his amature radio from.
