pedra de arpoador - a photo on Flickriver

pedra de arpoador

            At the far end of the beach from Morro Dois Irmãos (now with both its namesake peaks visible), the opposite headland is crowned with the Pedra de Arpoador, literally the Rock of the Harpooner.  One can see why: the wave-tumbled rock must have been an ideal spot for spearfishing.  In the modern day, it is an ideal spot for beach-watching, and it is well-traversed by lookie-loos, especially as sunset comes on.  It also seems much-favoured by surfers, as a whole clutch of daredevils was shooting the waves just off the rock with vim.  And, I discovered, also much favoured by drug dealers, since there was an energetic cadre of slingers of everything from marijuana and cocaine to ecstasy and ketamine, or so they said.  Me, I do not want to buy illegal drugs on a rock in the Atlantic (or anywhere else).  Fishermen of men, one might call them.
