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!
