It is a tradition to say thanks today in this part of the world. There is a lot that we need to be thankful for. We have had the privilege of having had a sailboat and of all the beautiful experiences we have had aboard Apuej Bien. Most of our passages this year were pleasant albeit challenging. Most of our journey through Venezuela was pleasurable; we met beautiful people who were surprised that we were Americans traveling in their country given the political dialogue of the day, but who never directed anti-american sentiment or negative comments.
We tasted some very delicious food and still have so many stories to share.
Los Roques is one of the most beautiful places we have ever seen, and the memory of its majestic beaches will be stamped forever in our memory. The fine people that we met have also imprinted in us hope and the knowledge that good people can be found everywhere. These gentlemen in Los Roques were, El Almirante Franco, Chef "fish"Javier, Comandante Ruiz and Teniente Dorantes. Our family at the Embassy; they know who they are, confirmed that we are indeed a family. And then of course, our family especially my brother Ulises who followed us and cheered us up with the daily jokes and tracked our progress via SPOT.
