"Hammock Testing", as tough as it might be, is considered a mandatory activity on our camping cruises . As our contribution to anthropology, we intend to research the thorny question as to whether the wheel or the hammock was the more important invention. Our money lies with the hammock. We expect everyone to do their civic duty and devote a considerable portion of their time to this research.
To this end, we provide a variety of hammocks, slung in a variety of locations. Most unique among these locations is, perhaps, under the main deck of the catamaran "mother ship", just inches above the water - with a cool breeze blowing through the shady tunnel between the hulls. In the hot afternoon hours, after a big lunch, we anticipate a rush of civic minded volunteers eager to contribute to our data collection.

seldom visited, pristine tropical paradises, including:
La Blanquilla, Las Tortugas, Los Testigos, Mochima, Golfo de Cariaco and
the coastal rain forest of the Paria Peninsula.
