we sail

countdown now for departure on Tuesday morning we raise the moorings and we aim to tortuga. In these hours we still end up the last thousand things (connect the solar panels, galley to replace the rotating macerator, arm genoa, main and mizzen, to stock water, wash the boat, authorize ilsurf on deck, preparing the helm wind, load the satellite and VHF portable, prepare the grab-bag, pick up the raft overhaul, repair the main halyard winch clutch, release the spinnaker halyard taking advantage of a trip up the mast to the face etc. ... the "vacation"!). We split the duties, it is Leon and control the engine room crew.

We sail with Kudra (also for security reasons) and it seems so thrilling match race like last year, may the best win!

A tortuga'll be a couple of days and then off to Los Roques, where you will be Christmas and New Year perhaps, we shall see, depend on how many people there, any mosquito abundance of fish and other place, you can not do a long-term!

The important thing is to be there and live every day as if it proceeded the next day as if it had arrived the day before (sorry but the philosophy is late at night!).

WATER

bearings are! We've reassembled a heroic night with the help of valuable Matte and now the axis turns with a finger! Taken by the enthusiasm we have also replaced the bushing of the propeller shaft (again thanks to the insertion and removal epic work lathe Joel) and even after replacing the braided packing can say with pride to have a centerline "like new" (but hard!).

Today was the big day of the launch is always exciting when the boat travel lift raises the earth and carries it to the water! She shudders, and you tremble at the end of the meeting: Nicolandra enters softly in the embrace of Venezuelan waters and lies cradled by a slight movement, we climb aboard, the engine will not start because (I admit) I forgot to upload the batteries! No panic, we have an ace up its sleeve: Turn on the generator that does not betray and we are ready in half an hour, the engine pulls two clouds of smoke and sings smooth and powerful as ever!

Now

week of final preparations and the platform (water, electricity) and will last for many months, then finally just surf and nights at anchor.

Ready to go?

KING MANCIONE

mancione This is the part that lies between the rotating bearing (which means that instead of the propeller thrust shoot the same bow dinette simply push the boat forward) and card (which shall, interposed with the inverter, the motor shaft revolutions). Now, our main problem, identified thanks to the subtle skill of Matte (even more than he could to turn the propeller!) Is that the thrust bearing has come to an end and should be removed just to change the mancione. I remove the drive shaft, push back the propeller shaft (after having dropped a nut with a socket wrench unlikely that fortunately we had borrowed from an Italian immigrant of the '60s became the magician of the alternator as well as our supplier of black money ) and start removing the brazed mancione but that is not even remotely a unrivet think there is war! It should be noted that the battlefield is on the bottom of the engine room, below the 300 liters of diesel fuel tank, almost upside down, 35 degrees of temperature and relative humidity of 90%, a hike! After several hours of futile attempts I decided to ask for help to the site, but the mechanic Julio has no particular familiarity with the methods of construction of the Alpe and opts for a full replacement of the entire shaft, a quick consultation with the foreman joseluis and here is the verdict: work and berths in January (the expenditure does not even want to know!). Ok, then do it alone, even at this point because the alternative is to return home.

always comforted by Matte ("Do not worry, you should come out, I had the same thing on my boat and the end came, did not specify what happened two years later) proceed with the attack an extractor courtesy of Julio combined with another extractor design created for us by our blacksmith Joel thanks to the intercession of joseluis.

It took 12 hours of uninterrupted work, various combinations of light and heavy equipment, improvised solutions to tens of treacherous enemy attacks that hinder the progress, but eventually moved! Between the groans and creaks structural mancione moved and the first bearing has made its appearance. From then on it was a triumphant ride, the enemy was now on course even if resisted until the last inch of bearing and I undertook a couple of hours, but now the victory was certain! Celebration and jubilation!

To extract this point, the bearings from mancione we borrowed a hydraulic press joseluis between him and Matt and have never seen a mechanic who was passing by, we had the better of 35 years of oxide and salt.

The small detail is that we do not know if this bearing can be found here in Venezuela, we'll find out next week and then we will know if Nicolandra will be back in the water or in the store inpatient long!

You are all with us?!

HERE WE GO AGAIN!

And here we are again in Venezuela, Puerto la Cruz-yard NICOLANDRA TMO-boat!

The first thing to say is that this tour is new, we are three! With us it's Leon, one of our three cats, we have taken to follow because being poor, became diabetic needs some loving care and continuous (and especially two insulin injections a day).

The trip was eternal and devastating, I was sitting quietly at Frankfurt airport with the leash in hand (the other side, in theory, there must be Leon) when I saw the cat was as if nothing had happened by another party, after having freed dall'inopportuno link! No panic! At the airport in Caracas, exhausted, on the domestic flight is refusing to let us bring the cat in the cabin but they want put in the hold !!??! No way instead of the plane and take a taxi, 7 hours! Ok, panic!. After 26 hours of travel we are in an apartment with the children of Kudra that had preceded the week before, it's done!

Anyway, back to Nicolandra we found in excellent condition, as we expected but we will be working on the shafting, and we'll be in a separate chapter in the tragic and heroic aspects!

Leaving Los Roques has not been easy, partly because after 2 months we were really good, now we felt at home, or because to return to Tortuga are invariably against wind and sea.

After a wait of 2-3 days when the trade wind blew particularly strong, finally provides a favorable weather window, with winds around 15 knots.

Ready to go, go! When you first turn the glorious medium genoa makes the soul and opens into two, we have to haul the teacher in the center to accommodate Nicolandra in the middle of the hood in order to quiet and safe.

All men in the bow and in less than no time is lowered and hoisted the genoa jib small (better be careful), it starts. So to speak, because even if the angle to the wind speed is good there, at this rate you'll get to Tortuga, but in 2 days! We must make a change before it is dark, again all in the bow, bow down and salt the big genoa, we play all out, mainsail and genoa and explained away long-hauled, heeled Nicolandra groans but fast gallops all night at some point we have not even come to rest in the prohibited zone around 5 miles Orchilla , an island military east of Los Roques.

You get to Cayo Herradura (Tortuga) the following day, the time to rest and the night starts to Puerto la Cruz, taking advantage of favorable weather situation.

finally arrive on the coast, a day at the marina in Bahia redonda on site and then to TMO, Nicolandra is winged on the ground after 6 months, a time full of emotion!

day of April 30: After the loving care close the case and let Nicolandra to rest and prepare to return to Italy.

We will meet again this fall to resume the adventure of which we do not provide details because we still do not know them, the only sure thing is that it will be worth a journey definitely worth doing!

Curtain Surfin 'in the LR

Wandering from one island to another we finally arrived at francisquis, just north-east of the "capital" Gran Roque.

Here an input to view the coral and anchoring a few meters from the reef on a base of 40 feet.

The characteristic of this place, however, is the fact that the basis for kite-surfers and surfers little bar with lots of "cool" on one of the beaches (recommended mohito did really well!).

The surfer who is in us (?) Wakes up and does not hesitate to get a nice cabin on the beach where, given the number of boards and sails, we imagine that noleggino surf.

's so, The place belongs to a guy who is currently in Australia (being the tables trying?) and is managed by Fernando, a former skipper, Venezuela, friendly and with which we become fast friends.

His dog, chilum, he too is surfing!

the table and then choose the best sailing in the wind (15-18 knots) and our capacity to: matthew board sailing competition with 7.4, for me to board-sailing dinghy and dock with 4.0! The company will prove to be fun but tiring, my back yields and despite treatment and abundant libations I find myself locked, disabled do not know how long (I think my cousin).

But the recovery is miraculous and after a few days back to surfing, this time I dare to affront and the failure to board and sail as a professional, after the inevitable tragic misadventures (fabio not look!) You can fly!

Taking advantage of an opportunity and after endless negotiations matteo even buy a sail board (donated) in carbon, which will prove to be a "Ferrari" as promised by oscar (former owner) is also very fast and light if in fact a bit fragile (!) repairs fiberglass are virtually on the agenda after each ride, to say nothing of jumping on the waves that break in almost two table! A gift horse ... about the mouth, the little greta has in the meantime a tooth and a half (considering his age should already have 6-8 ... but do not panic, they will come or not!)

And so we proceed in our journey meeting new friends and old friends, hanging out in fact also happens to see his friends again and the boats had left first 1-2 years across the ocean or in some Caribbean island, as small (and varied) the world!

Los Roques 2

The archipelago of Los Roques remains promises.

The arrival, after sailing from Tortuga is actually in a gray morning that suddenly has a very long and thin dark line of "land" that we go upwind to land in dos mosquisis , the first western island.








The input is done with a magnetic alignment of 60 ° on a group of three palm trees that stand tall on the beach, thus enters into an expanse of bassofondali dotted with coral heads, counting on being in the hallway right by aligning precise (!).



The anchor is pretty exposed, but we know it will be a bit 'all over the world, the wind is part of this landscape, is the trade wind that without obstacles, there are absolutely no relief, pump its 15-20 knots east-north-east day and night, adding his voice to the incessant roar of the sea that breaks on the reef.



E'mezzogiorno, the sun shines and lights up the landscape, the atmosphere is always as clear and the white sand beach is enhanced by its clear water that exhibits all shades of blue at different depths: dazzling! Sull 'islet dos mosquisis visit a center for re-population of turtles, a number of tanks in which newborn children are collected to avoid the carnage that occurs normally after hatching, reached one year of age will be put back into the sea and many happy

Behind the hut of the turtles we have the opportunity to see, for the first time, a tree with real grapes, the grapes from the beach! And while we give to the small botanical greta took the opportunity to take a good walk assisted by two "mothers" all happy to return, finally, to the boats.

Cayo de Aqua is our second pit stop, this first week because we have to do "racing" to get fabio to Gran Roque in time for the plane, so we devote a day at each island as the real forced the holidays!

The place is fairly secure and cozy, a handful of brave decides groped for a landing strip of land the top of the hill and go snorkeling windward, in the enthusiasm, however, we leave to the board and this will prove inseparable crocs fatal ... the incline of sand will be revealed in fact undermined by thousands of small dots of pins that have the best on our feet, while discreetly "soil" for months of life barefoot.

It uses any trick just to get out and show you the best fins.










After sailing (5 miles!), Swimming, walking, dinner and after dinner our heroes can finally enjoy a well earned rest, tomorrow is another day.

Unwittingly it the next day begins with a morning squall "fast and furious, "we are left to juggle the reef to gain exit from the pause between a backhand and the other, I just have time out and once all hell breaks loose! (okay, admit, I'm a bit ' exaggerating). However, we're getting a good wash, the boat finally desalination with wind and sea against. The effort is rewarded with the arrival in Carenero , between two islands sheltered mooring buoy up, we still can not believe you can stay for a time to rest, we will mica in croatia?!

But the vision of the kilometer white sandy beach with mangroves extending downwind surrounded by crystal clear water reef height 30 cm and confirms that we are still in the Caribbean,

we should prepare to face another hard day ...
