Sailing into Punta Pargo,Venezuela


This happens to be my all time favorite photograph of the voyage we made as a family of four,starting with the two girls and my wife in Salvador,Brasil,we cruised up the coast of Brasil and past the mighty Amazon River,untill we could bear off to starboard and lay an easy line to Tobago Island,famous for its crystal clear waters.We later sailed on down to Los Testagos,Venezuela,a group of five islands, mainly uninhabited,after which we sailed directly to the tax free island of Margarita,just off the Venezuelan mainland,stopping at Pampatar village to clear in,we later moved the short distance to Porlomar,a more sheltered bay and closer to the main town,its a long walk in but not a bad hike.Our next trip was down to Puerto la Cruz,with a memorable over night stop in the fantastic and land locked Mochima bay.
