    Hi Chrissi,

    Great report! It's nice to know that there are still some places in
    Venezuela that are still safe and where cruisers are still welcome.
    All too often when a pirate/violence alert goes out, the entire
    country is painted with the same brush and it usually simply isn't
    so. In the U.S. it is like saying that "X" city/state has high crime
    because some "skinheads," or some other generally considered negative
    group, has created a disturbance against cruisers in their town while
    "Y" city/state only a few miles away welcome cruisers and having the
    entire U.S. branded as anti-cruiser or as being unsafe for cruisers.
    It takes reports such as yours to get the word out especially to
    those of us who haven't yet started and are worrying about where to
    go and take our families. Those who are out there but in a different
    quadrant of the world may already know via other lines of
    communication or not. So, it is still important to get the word out.

    Thanks for doing a great job with a great report. Hope to see more of
    them coming as you continue your cruise.

    Rick
