Isla La Blanquilla and the Sail Loft!

Click Here Chrissi's impressions of La Blanquilla on our first visit.

this is the busiest intersection
on the island

After a quick sail from Isla Margarita

here we are in La Blanquilla again,

but this time we're here

for work, not play

(well, not all work)

we are glad to see the bay

still as beautiful

as ever

the house on the cliff
is the location of our sail loft

Naga anchored in
Americano Bay
(nobody here but us!!!)

The mainsail on Naga is 19 years old, and the old warhorse was more than ready for an overhaul. The best location we could find to do this work was the abandoned house on Americano Bay. Hauling the sewing machine, the generator, tools, new cloth and mainsail from the boat to the house took up an entire day. Patching, reinforcing and restitching the heavy monster was another six days of work.

this heavy 12oz. cloth required
plenty of hand stiching

fantastic view from
our temporary sail loft
