Portuguese term or phrase: na poupa da jangada
Hi all! I'm translating the transcription for a video on lobster fishing on a jangada. I don't have the video, just the Portuguese in a Word document to translate. I've only seen 'poupar' used as a verb - is poupa like a storage area? Thanks!


Opa, bom dia! Aqui é como se fosse a nossa casa. No instante que a gente sai da terra, a gente tem que zelar por esse meio de sobrevivência nosso. A gente fica pescando nela durante o dia e a noite e quando a gente quer descansar a mente, a gente entra pra dentro, deitamos em cima dos taboados e descansamos a mente.

O banheiro da jangada é ali, **na poupa da jangada**. Na hora que qualquer um quer fazer uma precisão, vai lá pra trás. O banheiro é o mar.
