Harman Kardon Soundsticks Difference





LAS AVES

then we left at dawn on December 31 from Los Roques, the plan was to get to Las Aves de Barlovento and there to make peace in the last year, then again after a couple of days to finally reach Bonaire.

We arrived at the destination to one o'clock in the afternoon and we passed on through the maze of reefs to the third bay, we were all in 6 boats divided into three bays, crowding could go! The place is fabulous and the first thing that strikes you is the transparency of water (and by that we did not reach jesolo mica), anchored in 10 feet of water from the deck of the boat can be seen easily the white sandy bottom, the second thing is peace, the other boats in the distance (and even seem uninhabited) and you do not hear any noise but the waves breaking on the reef, when evening falls and then everything becomes dark isolation is total, no lights on the horizon 360 degrees (or the other boats are really abandoned or have some nice problems of batteries!) and the only bright spots are the stars! Cosmic loneliness, Nicolandra suspended over the world, New Year! At 9 pm all in the cot that tomorrow there is to it.








To make the day of the new year ready for landing on the green banks, here in fact beach you have never seen but only "grass" green and lush low vegetation that seems painted. Since land is a sight: outside the deep blue sea tinged with white crests, all in shades of blue (as a function of depth) to the blinding white sand buried under a few inches of water, this time your photos do not make it!

And so between snorkeling and attempts at trolling with the boat (at the request of Leon), passes in a blink of an eye a week, I think we have to decide to go, maybe tomorrow ...

Eventually we set sail and the anchor part, next stop Las Aves de Sotavento, stay "tactics" to reduce the jump of 15 miles on Bonaire.

A sotavento We are 4 boats, two of them decide to make the entry and starting from guardacostas (unbelievable but there are), come back to tell us that we too must its establishment, the third boat to go there and she return is to "recall" the order (Among other things, recognize us, we had seen in bahia redonda, greetings and amenities). We opt for secrecy, not a vocation but because rebel gurdacostas to go by we should put water in the tender, lower the engine, go back, pull up the engine and hoist the dinghy, embellished!

the morning parade before feigning indifference to the military as soon as possible on the mainsail and the jib out on the mizzen, away out to sea, we hope you do not put water in the boat if we are not fried!

Everything ok, fast and free to sail to Bonaire, Venezuela goodbye (after exactly 12 months), and besos gracias.

(LOB LEON OVER BOARD)

night of Dec. 18, ship at anchor in Carenero Nicolandra (archipelago of Los Roques), North-East wind 15 knots, 01.00, from aft cabin Monica (per event clock) felt a strange noise that can not identify, stands up and calls me when I leave is already out with a flashlight and tries to call Leon, there is no trace! Suddenly probing the water with the light he sees it, is between the hull of the boat and Nicolandra trying to get on board (the tender still bears the signs) or better to stay afloat, Monica is a leap Leon grabs on the tender and handed it to me, the lock (and terrified, like a rat all soaked) prepared the shower and washed from head to toe in fresh water, dry it briefly and gave up, he puts on deck in dinette and begins to recover from trauma, licks to dry slowly and calm is restored, we had a narrow escape! Water and dry food to celebrate.

The next day, after a thorough investigation we have reconstructed the incident: Leon strolled aft and well thought of climbing on the solar panel that was in horizontal position attached to the stern pulpit , a Once on the shelf panel did not hold the weight and is rotated outward by sliding Leon into the water, the noise was probably warned by Monica Leon, like Sylvester the Cat on the mirrors, trying not to slide down.

After Leon has finished in the water stayed calm and took the dinghy to the side of the boat, there began to resist until help arrives.

Moral: life can hold surprises, better be prepared to roll up and get back on board (if there is someone that gives you a hand is easier).

We welcome comments of congratulations for the escaped danger and solidarity for Leon

PS Leon has taken over and sleep peacefully!

NETWORK!

After more than a month's no connection we are (finally?) Back online!

Summary of the past month:

Leaving Puerto La Cruz and the coast of Venezuela, a cold (26 ° C) dawn of the beginning of December, we arrived in late afternoon at Tortuga.

Cayo Herradura reminds us, after a month of hard work and stress, after all, we in the Caribbean and the place is not bad!

There is no time, however, to bask in the sun on our laurels because already the next day we set sail for Los Roques.

After 90 miles and a beautiful night of sailing, we go and find familiar places in the archipelago and "old" friends. Francisquis a week to acclimate a bit ', anchor life requires a bit' of adaptation, a small change of mentality, we must restore the feeling and confidence in the boat anchor line (the first few nights it was always a bit 'on the alert). It 'an opportunity to put back on track windsurfing taking advantage of a strong trade wind that calls for the plane. Windsurfing experience apnea (see photo) and we also go to "is" to permit 15 days (the Coastguard we have caught the second day, we might as well do the good); usual die, nothing is changed since last year: guardacostas, National Guard, inparque, central office (where you pay), everyone does the same questions and write the same things on paper records, a central computer NO?!

However Los Roques always has its charm and this is part of it, Francisquis, Carenero (perhaps our favorite), Cransqui, Noronsqui can not go wrong, of course, also try a new place, Augustin (a fishing camp protected by a reef, quiet) while we miss Isla Vapor, due to bad weather (day Groppi and strong winds have turned in on places known for safety) will be for the next one?

expire while the 15 days allowed, however we are still within 10 days (this time trying not to peck, Ha Ha!) To take home along with Kudra (Christmas with your family and ....) another week in the company.








On December 31, at dawn we separate from our sister Kudra salute Matte front facing, despite the ' now, dall'osteriggio Room, send a virtual kiss to Simon and Greta, and we turn the prow to the west to Las Aves, two reef with a little 'of mangroves and many birds in open Ocean exactly halfway between Los Roques and Bonaire. It is worth stopping? The answer as you will see is definitely YES!
