Venezuela, Aves de Barlovento, Isla Sur: Arrived 21/01/2013 - an eventful landfall as we came in to the anchorage .. a mild grounding, fortunately no damage .. But a good lesson as we were coming in with the sun still rising ahead of us, and of course could not adequately see the shallowing. We put down a lunch anchor and headed off in the dinghy to explore the thousands of nest sites, red footed boobies, pelicans, and many more .. tall mangroves with their branches trailing down to the water and groaning under little downy chicks, fledglings, and sitters. |
