Hi All,
 
Well here we are in El Yaque, Margarita Island again :0)
 
We had a pretty uneventful journey other than having to push the taxi out of Grant and Lisa's road because of the snow, having to unpack a couple of kilos of stuff from our cases and stuff it into our already crammed hand luggage to avoid €60 excess baggage charge, our flight to Madrid being delayed an hour (so thinking we might miss the flight to Caracas), arriving at Caracas and thinking that the nails which we were bringing...

So, what can I say. Our holiday in El Yaque, Margarita, Venezuela is over and we had an altogether fantastic time. In the last two weeks the time just flew by and we spent quite a bit of time socializing with all the nice people we had met,

       
       

so I just didn't get a chance to send a final 'postcard'. So, I hope you will forgive me and let me update you now with what we got up to in those last two weeks...
 
After my trip to the hospital and subsequent days off the water with Dave dili...

Well, where can I start. It is now our sixth week in El Yaque, Margarita. The last two weeks have gone very quickly. Nearly two weeks ago we had the excitement of the Canada/USA Ice hockey final. Now, that may not seem particularly relevant, but bear in mind that we are staying in the house of two Canadians, one of the guests at the time was a Canadian Ice Hockey player, Erik, and another guest, Dan, was from San Francisco. Also consider that the Canadians were on track to grab the biggest go...

I can hardly believe that we are now into our fourth week in El Yaque... The last few days have been light winds - I have not sailed since Sunday - keeping my infected ear dry (the other one now!!!) to see if that helps it heal. No one has really sailed for the last two days - yesterday the water was flat calm and like a mirror - totally different to normal. And for one day it was really nice. I think that if it carries on though, people will get frustrated quite quickly. It's ok for us as we...

Well this is the end of our second week in El Yaque and we are still having a fantastic time.

Dave's foot is slowly but surely recovering - mostly due to the use of Aloe Vera - courtesy of a broken off piece of Aloe plant from the garden of the girl next door!! Dave had been given some the first time we came here by one of the cleaning ladies at the hotel we were staying at who took pity on him when she saw cuts on his shins were not healing. She went away and broke off a piece of plant and da...

We have been in El Yaque, Margarita for 10 days or so. In fact I am struggling to remember what day it is :0)
 
The weather has been fantastic - sunshine from dawn to dusk - and windy pretty much all of the time. That may sound horrible to some of you, but those of you who windsurf will know that is pretty much the perfect weather. We have been windsurfing every day mostly on 5m sails or less. We've both sailed the smallest boards we've yet been on and made the biggest jumps of our windsurfin...
