A jangada is an elegantly planked boat used by local fishermen only in northern Brazil. It has been claimed the jangada dates back to ancient Greek time. Makes sense since it was the Grecian Mediterranean cousins, the Portuguese, who settle Brazil back in the 1500’s. Others peg the lineage as originating from Asia and Africa, who also refer to their boats by the same name. Either way, dappled clouds, a gentle surf and a jangada at rest conjures up visions of an enchanted lifestyle Far beyond Ordinary. #Lifecouldn’tbebetter #Mynauticalmuse #wishyouwerehere #farbeyondcruiseships
