Out for a night on the town to celebrate Mel's birthday (of Mel and Phil on Samji). Lots of fun learning cockneyisms and discussing the new boobs! (Mel's - not mine!)

A weekly potluck event with a lovely view. Of course, generally speaking everyone's cleaned up and gone home to bed by 8 PM. Such is the curse of the night owl's existence when living in the world of cruisers...

That far away from mainland services, fishermen in Cayo Herradura will often offer a trade of fish for a surprising variety of items - including toilet paper, earphones, batteries along with the more expected characters: rum, soda and cigarettes. However, we had no rum, soda or ciggies on board to trade, but the fish looked good, so I offered chocolate! The fishermen jumped at the chance for chocolate, so much so that they returned a few days later suggesting another trade and then a few days later, we asked if they wanted some "liquid chocolate". You can see their answer in the Hershey's syrup can in the hand of one of the smiling fishermen.

One of the fishing camps on Cayo Herradura, a little horseshoe-shaped island of sand on the north side of Tortuga Island. Inside you can see one of the many shrines to the Virgin of the Valley that dot the landscape of Venezuela. Clearly, there are no "services" here - there's barely enough sand piled up to call it a key. But it was a perfect anchorage and we stayed there for over two weeks.
