Jangadeiros

Picture
Jangadas, hauled high on the beach create fine lines in the scenery.
Guajiru, a small fishing village on the northern coast of Brazil, in the state of Cearà. A jangada is a traditional fishing boat made out of wood.
The sail, with its triangular shape gives an admirable capacity of sailing upwind. It is still in use by artisanal fishermen, the Jangadeiros, in this
northern region of Brazil. Jangadeiros have no protection against the wind and the waves and go out fishing in high sea for up to 4 days.

When it's time to go fishing, the Jangadeiros manoeuvre down the small fishing boat using 2 logs to roll the jangada over until it reaches the
ocean. Then, they rig the sail and embark on their fishing voyage confronted to the first waves.
