We had a busy morning of organizing, packing and culling all of our posses ions. We sure have a lot less room to spare now that we have our hammocks from Fortaleza, Brazilian goodies and a pack of Farofa each. Some how we made it all fit and were able to enjoy the rest of the day. Due to the heavy rain the night before the streets were hard packed and plenty of the bricks and stones usually covered with sand were showing. The thick rain clouds were still hanging around and not letting the wind pick up, Jeri was as still as I've ever seen in. Jen and I walked over to Tom's and Arrianne's pousada to see what was going on, we relaxed and watched a few windsurfing clips with them and Emmi while waiting for the wind.
Jen and I had our last lunch at Ponto do Big of course, and had the usual picadinho and sucos maracuja. We joined Joao who was already eating there, he teaches kids Capoeira classes after our english classes and was the one who set up the kids english class. It's nice how we met and got to know some of the Jeri locals. I will look forward to seeing them some time in the future when I make it back to Jeri.
The wind finally picked up nicely at 1:30 and I had a great last session on a 4.7m^2 sail and my usual 90L freestyle board. I sailed until I couldn't sail anymore. The sun set early into thick clouds but it was still light enough to surf until six o'clock. It's sad to think it will probably be quite awhile until I get to windsurf again and it already seems weird to wake up and not check the wind forecast.
We joined a few people eating at Pousada do Maruisios then went to Queijo Pizza for dinner with Arrianne, Emmi, Chris, Tom, Simon, Al and Maeli. We then invited everyone to our pousada where Emmi baked a delicious hot fruit salad with white chocolate melted on top. It was a great send off, and the Swedish guys showed up right when we were leaving so we had a big goodbye with everyone before we were on our way.
Tchau Jeri!
