We get the anchor in just to port of the cross marketing the reef on the western side of the bay and jump in for an evening snorkel.

... time for another provisioning run. Marcello and I take a walk up the road to Vitoria and find a few minimarkets that have frozen meat, fresh bread, bottled water, and beer.

To make sure I could get a seat I needed to be there at 6:30 which meant leaving about 5:45.
