How long would it take from here to the mainland, to Brazil?«Quanto tempo será que dá pra, daqui até o continente, Brasil?»
From here to the Brazilian mainland it's about 350 km in a straight line. At your current 227 knots, that's roughly 50 minutes of flying.

And this beach down here?«E essa praia aqui embaixo?»
That's Praia do Leão, one of the wildest beaches on Noronha: pale sand, strong surf, and sea turtles that come ashore at night to lay their eggs.

And that rock up ahead, what is it? What's it called?«E aquela pedra ali à frente, que que é? Qual é o nome dela?»
That's Morro do Pico, the highest point on Fernando de Noronha at 323 metres and the island's best-known landmark. From here you can see its shape, like a finger pointing at the sky.
