... uma coisa que foi uma surpresa quando apuradas com a Polícia Federal foi ao ouvir que eles tinham acabado de reabrir um escritório em Angra, após um encerramento de 20 anos. Todos nós rimos e concordaram que era em honra de retorno Lord Jim ... eles ainda não tinham formas para limpar o barco, mas nos disse para não se preocupar que poderia fazer isso em uma semana ou assim ... em qualquer caso, o barco foi oficialmente apagado como em uma palavra entre cavalheiros.
Que se sentia mais como o Brasil que eu conhecia, e eu estava disposto a lidar com as mudanças, sejam elas quais forem.
Em Angra dos Reis.

...on Tuesday, 17 October, 2006, at 17:45 local time, we drop anchor in the same spot where I used to anchor over twenty years ago...many changes all around us
...one thing which was a surprise when we cleared in with the Policia Federal was to hear that they had just re-opened an office in Angra after a closure of twenty years. We all laughed and agreed that is was in honor of LORD JIM's return...they still had no forms to clear the boat, but told us not to worry we could do it in a week or so...in any case, the boat was officially cleared -- like on a word between gentlemen. That felt more like the Brazil I used to know, and I was content to deal with the changes, whatever they might be. — em Angra dos Reis.
