We sailed from Los Tostigos to Porlamar, Margarita Island, Venezuela. We took an island tour with our friends Val and Lloyd from S/V Puddle Jumper and our friends Dick and Jane from S/V Cheetah II. When we we're clearing customs the customs officer did not speak much English and we don't speak much Spanish. The customs officer asked what "Jumper" meant.

We caught 5 tuna, a Dorado and a swordfish on our trip to Tobago. We saw a 400 pound Leatherback Turtle lay her eggs on the beach. The turtle crawled up on the beach, dug a hole in the sand, layed her eggs, disguised the egg location and then swam out to sea. [View Full Entry]
