We had a few goods days waiting on weather anchored at Ilha do Fogo. It's a pretty good anchorage for southerly winds, although it has a merciless roll onboard at times with the swells wrapping around the reef. We had to anchor the dinghy offshore and swim into the beach due to the surf. There are a few locals living on the island 'building' a resort. Not a lot of progress yet. They were very friendly with very little English. Once they figured out that Chris was combing the beach for shells they brought out some of their finds. A little negotiating and we had deal in trade for coffee and sugar.
We motored for the morning out do Fogo and now (4:30pm) are having a good sail south. We will most likely stop on a sand dune island Bazaruto, still in Mozambique, in a few days and wait out weather there for our final push into Richards Bay.
