The next passage to Fernando de Noronha was gentlemans’ sailing downwind

We arrive at Fernando de Noronha on Lawrences 70^th birthday …

… so the anchor nip was champagne – hold on, what’s that growing out of Lawrence’s head?

The birthday celebrations continued all day and included a lemon drizzle birthday cake made by Sally

We hired the Yellow Peril to get around …

… to see the historic sites …

… and to get the beautiful beaches. 3 out of the 4 best beaches in Brazil are here

FdeN is renowned for its snorkelling and diving …

… so we hired Kevin for the morning as our snorkelling guide.

Lawrence’s underwater camera packed up, so we’re unable to show you pictures of the turtles, fish of many colours , shapes and sizes and eels that we saw
