Best Pain Relief For Teething

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!

Bolsey Camera Secondhand

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 ...
