: Brazil is an incredible place to paddle. I can't beleive there is
: only on outfitter/guide/rental place in the entire country. He
: has a well qualified staff, all ACA certified. His kayaks and
: PFDS's are made in Brazil (it is outrageously expensive to
: import in Brazil), the designs reflect a significant influence
: of some of the better brands that we use in North America. I
: paddled in Ubatuba and then we went north of Rio to Cabo Frio
: and Cabo Buzios. Ubatuba was scenic with plenty of marine life.
: Flying fish were all over along with sea turtles about every 100
: yards, rays, dolphins ( I don't know what kind they were), and
: plenty of birds. Cabo Frio had some great sea caves and a very
: nice beach. I think both Cago Frio and Buzios are prone to high
: winds although we did not experience any. Cabo Buzios had some
: pretty serious chop in locations and plenty of beaches where you
: could relax on the beach drink a coconut or get a meal. All
: beaches in Brazil have public access but it is illegal to camp
: on them so you just put up your hammocks after dark. Coastal
: waters tend to be very shallow 15-30 feet deep from what I
: experienced. There are islands all over the place. We
: experienced a good mix of calm and challenging waters. I will
: get some more pictures and a story out later, but this link has
: a handful of pictures. We pulled the turtle in the picture out
: of the fish net in the background.

Sounds pretty incredible, and with temps here in the teens, I'm seriously envious!

If this is missionary work, I'd suggest a sign-up sheet.
