The South American country of Venezuela is much in the headlines this week. Here’s a link to an update on how the U.S. incursion into Venezuela is affecting the cruising community, whioch is to say, not very much. CLICK HERE.
All the talk of Venezuela stirred an upwelling of happy memories in my friend John Arndt who is the publisher of Latitude 38.
In 1977, john and three friends took a year off from college to sail a Nicholson 35 from New England to the Caribbean and spent many happy weeks cruising the north coast and off-lying islands of Venezuela. It was a different and more innocent time and his tales evoke the “old days” cruising before GPS, Starlink and satphones.
