Checking out of Venezuela requires visiting the airport in Gran Roque for an exit stamp, as the document provided by the Port Authority upon entry serves as the Zarpy for both arrival and departure. Officials at Los Roques often grant exit stamps several days in advance to accommodate sailboats traveling west, as Gran Roque is the only port of entry and exit in the archipelago.
Navigation through the Los Roques islands involves shallow, reef-strewn waters where depths typically range from 7 to 11 feet. Anchoring in these areas often requires visual navigation, as electronic charts may underestimate capacity or hazards. During a transit between Sarki, Cayo Caranero, and the turtle sanctuary at Dos Mosquises, a windlass malfunction occurred, characterized by a clicking sound and intermittent operation. Troubleshooting steps include testing the remote control to isolate whether the fault lies in the deck switch or the windlass motor. The turtle sanctuary at Dos Mosquises offers tours for a $2 entry fee and hosts rotating crews of researchers who manage the facility.
