    Yes.. lots of vendors selling food on the beach... but nothing really "fancy"... they sell pizza, corn, fruit salads, snacks, lots of "salgados" which I don't know how to explain cause I have never seen them in America.. but when I find them, I will take pictures and post here...

    The most delicious street food that I know are in Salvador, BA.. that's in the northeast of Brasil and most of their food was brought from African countries... they are very spicy and very oily.. fried in yellow oil called "dende".. they use sea food, shrimps, crabs, black beans, lobster and lots of other things...
    For now.. here are some pictures of Baianas (cook ladies from Bahia) selling their traditional typical foods...

    There are no new HOS rules in the pipeline...

    Well there is some testing on some types of split sleeper, but nothing more.
