On the Day 39 we arrived to Barra Grande - what a place! Where donkeys try to reproduce on the beach ...
... in a dangerous proximity to the kites (the black-red one is my North Evo)
... where most of the streets are still sandy ...
... Where in the pharmacy you can buy beer and wine and in the baker's intercity bus tickets and famous Gurana Jesus ...
But most importantly Barra Grande has excellent kiting conditions, strong winds - most of the time I kited with my 7 meters, whereas in Cumbuco these days 12 hardly enough. Very flat water at low tide, as the sand bank stops the waves around 1km away and a flat water lagoon at a high tide, so you have flat water both at low and high tides :). The lagoon is easily accessible by downwind ride and to go back either you work hard up wind or you can get a donkey taxi - no buggies in this town :).
I had excellent three days with a great sunset session on Thursday :)
