| Fishing boats on Fogo Island |
We got up to another beautiful day. We left early so we could drive ~30 miles to catch the ferry to Fogo Island. The ferry took about 45 minutes and only cost $14.25 for the car and us both ways. It was a really nice ride over looking at the many, many islands. We took a tour at the Marine Information Center. It was really interesting as it covered the history of Fogo Island, fish marketing, and cod processing. We drove on up to the town of Fogo. It was really pretty. The island has alot of water but is pretty barren, mostly rock. It has become a fishing site for off shore fishing. We bought some frozen crab at the fishing coop. Crap and lobster fishing season is over. We got the crab for $14/lb for broken legs and $20/lb for complete crab legs. It is meat only so I think that is a pretty good price. It was froze within the last couple weeks. We caught the ferry back at 4:00 pm. It was a great day.
