Rio Arau to Maraú, Brazil

Songster
Oyster 39
This was probably the craziest thing we did with Songster until today! We sailed into a Waterfall!!!! Tremembé waterfall is located at Maraú river and it is famous for boats going inside the waterfall. We were not that bold, so we just anchored in front of it - we saw many pictures of sailboats with their bawl inside the waterfall!!! To get there it was not very easy. First we had to sail from Goió island to Maraú, and I forgot to record the trip with SailTies, as there was too much excitement going on. Then we slept in Maraú, to go there next day at the right moment. We had to wait for the right moon, so the high tide is fuller, and we had to go there with high tide going up. We did the homework correctly and we left at the right moment to the waterfall. The last part of the way, when we got into a small canal of the river, was certainly the most nervous part.. we didn’t have it on our charts, we just had a track from Navionics that someone sent to us. We followed the track seen our depth meter beep from the 0.0 alarm many times, but we never got aground!! A few minutes later and voilà! The waterfall!
