Re: Marinas in Venezuela With On-Site Fuel
Did we scare him off on the idea?
But seriously, folks:
I've been there around 20 times (wife is from there), and seen most of the country, except Maracaibo, and far into the interior. This was pre-Chavez, and "more or less" safe. I even had a condo, rented for me by a VZ liquor company I was doing advertising work for in the states. It was on the beach in an area called Macuto, in La Guaira, that was later washed away by mudslides that destroyed thousands of homes and KILLED thousands. To this day, 13 years later, the area is still a disaster because the Chavista regime is so screwed up.
Most of my wife's HUGE family still lives in Caracas, and not a single one hasn't been robbed or injured in a crime. (My nephew was shot TWICE as just a bystander.) And every one of them lives in fear, every minute of every day, of getting robbed or killed.
You have to be NUTS to go there. Even Beirut is safer!
Nowadays, wherever you go in the country, you're taking your life into your HANDS.
