Cruising Brazil

[capecodphyllis]

Does anyone have any input on what it's like to cruise in Brazil? I can't find anything on the Internet, as most Americans stop at Panama before returning or cutting through.

I would be curious to know what slip and mooring fees are like. As well as sailing conditions, piracy, etc.

Any good websites that I missed? Or cruising guide suggestions?

I've read that the monetary exchange rate is great - if you have dollars. Supposedly, you can purchase a luxury three bedroom apartment in the best areas for 80,000 USD. Right across from the best beaches. And a beautiful single-family home for 150,000 USD.

An excellent lunch - I've read - would run you 2.50 USD. The 'Great Escapes' website has lots of info in this regard, but nothing cruising-related.

I'm with you, this is a potential area a couple years from now when I come back from Costa Rica
