I have to admit, drugs were a concern... Luckily the skipper and crew were able to meet the owners out in Venezuela - no white suits, convertible sports cars or guys with machine guns insight, so we knew we would be OK!

It was a long trip (42 days) and involved a stop in Sint Maarten and the Azores. Provisioning in Venezuela was interesting - fuel, no problem (2$ for 500 lts!!!). Basic food - very difficult!

Here is the video of the yacht delivery (part one):


I hope you enjoy it!

Nice one! Look forward to part 2

Enjoyed cruising in Venezuela, the offshore islands are classic, Not sure about the armed guards at the hypermarket on Isla Margarita though!

Answered my own question, went round to pier 4, still there.

Thought I recognised one of the crew (unmissable) in the Ship the other night!

Without being sycophantic about it, the boat looks fab and has obviously well looked after by you chaps.
