Thursday, 12 Mar 2020 – The ship was
scheduled to anchor off the coast of Ilha Grande at 8:00 AM. Ilha
Grande is an island located off the coast of Rio de Janeiro. The island remains largely undeveloped. For almost a century it was closed by the Brazilian government to free movement or
settlement because it first housed a leper colony
and then a top-security prison. Cândido
Mendes high-security prison housed some of the most dangerous prisoners within
the Brazilian penal system until it closed in 1994. The island is now a popular tourist
destination that is noted for its scenic beauty, unspoiled tropical beaches,
luxuriant vegetation and rugged landscape.

After
breakfast, Jesse took a tender ashore.
Then, after lunch, we finally wrote on the postcards that we had
purchased in Iguazu Falls. Since Sally’s
rash on her back, chest, and shoulders seemed somewhat worse, she didn’t want
to swim today. (She had a rash last
year, too. Jesse thinks she has an
allergy to saltwater or a combination of
saltwater and sun.) After dinner, we
talked to Julie & Canute about the rash.
They suggested that she try using Aloe Vera gel.
