Hi, @xpilar, here is my entry: I always liked to visit the island of Margarita. This island, located in the Caribbean Sea is also known as "The Pearl of the Caribbean". I was 8 or 9 years old and loved to travel by boat to this magical destination. The boat is a ferry that transfers passenger, light vehicles and also heavy-duty vehicles. It is far from being a cruise, of those that have swimming pools and games rooms, different restaurants, etc. However, this boat is comfortable inside. It has comfortable armchairs and tables to eat or play cards or any other board game. But for me, the real adventure was on the deck of the boat, where we were allowed to stay throughout the voyage. From there, if we're lucky, we could watch the dolphins jump on the sides of the boat. Therefore, I enjoyed both the journey and the stay on the island.

On one occasion, we made the journey in the night shift; The boat departed at 8 and had to arrive at the island around 1 a.m.; Even at night, with the cold it makes, I liked to be on the deck; Seeing the starry sky (obviously could not glimpse the Dolphins). But that night, I never knew the reason, we were not allowed to go on deck and we had to do the whole trip inside the boat, which meant a great disappointment to me. As I didn't usually travel inside I felt dizzy and decomposed.

The trip usually took 5 hours, as it was a boat a bit old and slow. Like I said, we up to Earth at about 1 am. Some passengers slept comfortably in their seats; Others played at the tables, others chatted or read a book. I was playing "Telefunque" with my friends and cousins. It's my favorite card game. Around 12 pm, we felt a strange vibration on the boat, which surprisingly sloweded the speed and stopped completely. Then the engines were shut down. It was a chilling feeling, all the passengers looked at each other, wondering what was going on. We imagine the darkness outside, even on the high seas, and we are terrified at the idea of an imminent maritime accident. To our surprise, everything was fine. We had reached our final destination an hour ahead of schedule.
