Trichomoniasis How Long

GO! Starting Blocks

Pablo you ready? Yes!

In recent days we have explained to Pablo that we are about to begin a long and navigation will remain at sea for many days and many nights.

He is ready! It lets you put your seat belt and asks to be secured to the hook that we have put in the cockpit.

E 'Wednesday' morning, we finish the last things in a drizzle uninviting. The wind is from the northeast around 20 knots. Virtually on the nose. If these conditions are good, one wonders what would have been bad!

We are about to leave for one of the toughest sailing the Caribbean that, depending on the weather and the strategy will be: tough, bad, or terrible ... what joy!

prepare a nice pot of pasta and potatoes with the rosemary, so ' survive for a couple of days.

weighed anchor, make sure the deck and seal it firmly in the passage of the chain to prevent ingress of water in the bow sinking. We

a boat anchor around to greet friends at the shelter under their awnings. Someone asks, "Where are you going?" "In Martinique"

eyed, speechless, "But, right?" "Well, we have a sailboat, we will do as you can '!" "Bon courage!"

Thank you, we need it.

Issiamo the two extremities in one hand, the foresail and on through the pass.

We ride from the north around Green Island and go over in front of the anchor outside the reef. We know that we all are watching. Someone a bit 'envy for the courage that we have in dealing with this navigation, but nobody wants to be at our place!

we go up against the wind with sails and motor to move the shallow waters southeast of Coco Bandera, then we take the direct route to go north of Cartagena.

the wind dropped and the sea has risen, as always here, and we continue to motor away in our beautiful well.

Nikon 1200s Vs Legend



Efficiency first! In theory we have two days to prepare and supplies the boat for the return trip to Martinique and we tried to make a list of things that we needed to do to start. We provided a

Narganà, then we will move to Green Island to finish checks.

supplies are limited. Now the season draws to a close of the boats and the few shops are already in low season version.

still managed to put on board the necessary but we hope to draw on the road.

A Green Island real work begins: rigging, rigs, the unit uses, centering the weight, bilge pump, main engine, do a full stock of water before the desalination plant, equipment fishing, tin drum, auction IOR, emergency procedures.

Aquarius is a great boat and control each ends with a note OK!

proceed very well!

friends who are here do not dare to approach the anchorage. They know what lies ahead is a very challenging journey and that the preparation is a prerequisite for success. On Tuesday

'arrives quick as a flash and the list is not over yet. We need more time!

Fortunately the weather map confirms the opening of the window but with some 'delay, which fits with our times.

How Big Is A 26 Inch Suitcase

The last cruise in San Blas

Here come the new guests warmed by a magnificent sun.

We are happy because we can get some good weather anchor going in search of new access roads.

'll go to the bottom of the fjord Cayo Holandes then going for a walk collecting shells on the low sandbanks at low tide.

The scenario is lunar and it seems to be alone in the world.

In the afternoon we go to fish close to the outer reef in a depth of just over two meters that at first glance it seemed easy to reach, but without interest.

The current is strong and fatigue after taking an area with some nice coral heads begin to see huge shoals around Parga reds, Carite (king macarel) whizzing curious and huge schools of jacks circling us.

The first to come is a nice shot pargo red, then it is the turn of trevally and I'll take 'three respectable. Around now is full of black tip reef sharks and nurse and more than once I sat down with the fish and throw the shark in the middle ready to jump on its prey.

The water is low, clear and bright. A huge quantity of fish of each species is divided by the area I'll have a dozen sharks' often stung with the harpoon to remove from the target trajectory.

back on board with the most spectacular of the season caught and in the eyes of exciting and unforgettable images.

Needless to say, what we had for dinner. Carpaccio of jacks and pargo grilled accompanied by a fresh prosecchino. Life is not easy ... for the fish!

continue the tour and when we start the way back, we feel Enzo on VHF.

"When you think of leaving?" He asks. "The idea is to prepare and put in st.by by next weekend." "Well, too bad," he says. "Tuesday 'will open a window and it was pretty good time to cross."

few minutes of panic to realize that we can not risk losing this opportunity.

We still have two days of cruising but if we give in we can try to be ready to leave Tuesday 'Wednesday at the latest'.

Ok, you can 'do!

We enjoy the last few days in San Blas, but already beginning to mentalizing at the start and taking advantage of smooth sailing to carry out controls on some equipment.

We are back to Narganà. Our friends take their way home with a heavy heart. We had a very relaxing day and we are very pleased to have responded to their email that brought us together in this corner of the world.

Next meeting: Grenadines!
