hi
I am sorry to read about the theft from your boat.It realy makes me sick when anybody steals from another

However please dont let it put you off visiting vevezuela , yes it can be dangerous but so can walking through the streets of many countries including England .

If you do come down to venezuela let me know and maybe I can show you around.
I live on Isla de Margarita and yes there are tales of woe and piracy and shootings etc but when I go on line and read the Uk and Irish newspapers I somehow feel safer here than back in the Uk

Can you keep on board a flair gun ?
