All snowboarders and always willing to try new things, even though the wind speeds were not ideal, the dudes were ready for the next adrenaline rush.
We were lucky enough to have this beautiful anchorage to ourselves for two days and then were joined by a French boat also here for kiteboarding.
Zig-zagging to miss eachother, the boats, and the reef takes skill and patience, and the chase dingy was very busy. But finally Shawn caught the upwind swing and our spectator sporting paid off!
Los Roques, being a coral atoll and short on vegetation and shade, luckily had one lone coconut palm tree.
At the captain's orders "Boys we need coconuts for our rum!"
Through the scrub grass, thorns and burrs, they dutifully trekked.
Where there is a will there is a way, and thank goodness for boat hooks and tall friends.
We have found that extracting coconut milk from a fresh coconut with a machete takes skill, practice and a genetic propensity. Not to mention it makes a HUGE mess.
The Starship answer to all things... power tools.
Thanks to our excellent crew we eat and drink very well on this old boat.
