Los Roques

The journey continues - Los Roques is a small group of islands outside the northern coast of Venezuela. Beautiful stuff! We left Martinique he 24th of January, and arrived in Los Roques late on the 26th. It felt lovely to get away from the French island – I’d rather that the people speak Spanish and a little English then them speaking French and absolutely NO ENGLISH. Bloody French (no offence to my French friends that speaks English - love you). When we woke up the next morning we heard that another ship from the bluewater rally had hit a reef in Los Roques, only a few miles from where we were so we decided to locate them and offer what help we could. We found them after a while and they had a story to tell! They had hit the reef around 7 o’clock and that’s just when it starts to get dark. One of the guys had to swim in with a rope so that they could get on an island. On the island they had to stay the whole night before the coastguard came to rescue them in the morning. Crazy! And the next day we drove past the boat and me and Nielsn got ashore on the island and could walk on to the boat – this is how it looked
Craxy shit, we’ll take more care from now on!
