Guacarapo 07/16/07

As every morning we enjoyed watching the skimmers while sipping on fresh coffee while a gentle breeze is blowing. We decided it was time to venture to other nice anchorages went ashore and paid our bill at the resort. I couldn't believe the price, we had two wonderful dinners, one included appetizers and dessert had several rum, beer, glasses of wine plus a bottle and he charge a little for the trip into town and the total came to 57 dollars, wow. We had a great time and will return.
We pulled anchor and motored, yes it was a noserly again, along a 5 mile stretch of lonely beach with only a few occasional houses built right on the beach, a very peaceful area. The beach ends at a point where the small village of Guacarapo is. Around the point is a very protected anchorage and we dropped in eight feet of water. The village is very simple and the people in this area leave by fishing and cattle ranching. What amazes us too is the difference of the mountain range from the entrance
of the golf to here. It starts as a dried out colorful mountain range and slowly turns green and then more lush and when you get here the vegetation is really thick. The way the mountain range looks it reminds us of the mountains in Hawaii.
Salacia is in this anchorage and has been here for a while. They've been cruising Golfo de Cariaco for the last eight years and call it home. We're having them over for dinner, can't wait to hear all the stories they have.
