The night of the cruise from a Blanquilla tortuga has witnessed one of the most fought sailing competitions in history!
parties at the stroke of midnight with little wind, and nicolandra kudra slowly moving ahead towards the south-west with genoa and mainsail with one reef (dictated by prudence) kudra, as always, opens the way and its lights shine at 2 o'clock for a few hours until, with increasing wind, we decided to hoist the Mizzen, and accelerates nicolandra thanks, peter (the steering winds) gives his best and, gradually, we come closer to the opponent and finally we turn to lead the race to general amazement (those who were awake!) to no kudra applies to taking your hand off the mainsail, stay ahead and the goal is approached, at dawn the twist: thanks to a large and well-trained crew (fabio and Camilla), kudra hoist the spinnaker!
With this wing the distance between the two boats inexorably diminishes until, a few miles from Punta Delgada, is overtaking ... kudra enters tortuga by winning but the old nicolandra fought like a lion! At
end all happy and celebrating with a freshly caught barracuda.
Tortuga is to look at, playa caldera, where we have given his first day, is the most visited on the windward side of the long beach opens a lagoon created by numerous reef which is overlooked by some cabins, a ranch
minimal and the airport with its runway of compacted sand to the private aircraft of the Venezuelan rich people.
The next day we set sail and go to give funds to Cayo Herradura.
A semicircle of white sand protected by the reef
with one hand
the lighthouse and the small fishing communities, on the other beach that extends semiaffiorante with a line on which the waves meet external and internal
a show, unreal image, outside, between the beach and the reef, aquarium, all at our disposal
L 'atmosphere, under the merciless sun, was described as "bleached and baked, the dazzling sand and the water shines with its transparencies ... Caribbean ...
Here flying day, is the place where you would like to bring all those you love to share the beauty and magic of the place. Exaggerated? Perhaps, but there is definitely a place to visit!
The departure from this little paradise is bold, after having first explored the release, in fact, part of the reef at night!
all right and proceed quietly on their way to the "civilization" to the coast to Puerto La Cruz.
