On Sunday the morning we landed here on the island of Bonaire and are with our Ivalu to a buoy off the island capital of Kralendijk. Since the complete Bonaire's underwater world is protected, this is the only place where it is allowed to stay with the boat. In Curacao we are not here directly sailed, but still have a two day stopover brought to a buoy in front of the uninhabited island of Klein-Curacao. Klein-Curacao cope completely with your name, the island is only four miles long and just so high that you can see the surf on the other side of the island. Besides a half-ruined but still good working lighthouse in the middle of the island is not very much. But that is what is the attraction of the small islands. Actually, we just wanted to stay there overnight, since it has all of us but like it so much, the decision was a night not dranzuhaengen difficult. By day, although some tourists come with a small excursion boat from Curacao, but after four clock then you have the island again for itself alone, so that the camp fire on the beach no more obstacles. And the tourist steamer has its uses, since they have willingly left there on both nights before leaving her uebriggebliebenses cold beer. We enjoyed the very quiet days, during the day touring the island, the lighthouse and the stranded wrecks and let us go well. were small-Curacao is a Brutstaedte for sea turtles, we see when snorkeling and even touch. And if you could not really had his head under water is always admired by flying flamingos. Also for the Ivalu it was an adventurous stop their line, with which they clung to the buoy, had frayed and slowly she went to drift. Thank God Paul noticed it in time, so that we are behind with the dinghy and they have recaptured. Klein-Curacao we liked so well that we are on the way back to Curacao there still would like to take a two day stopover. Then with two mooring lines to the buoy :-)
From small-Curacao then the journey was here to Bonaire. Here we were in a very peculiar island museum of local "artist", issuing all sorts of figurines, sculptures, skull bone, Kruscht and clutter in her garden, in between turtles, parrots and "live" flamingo. Skuriele-interesting-funny!
Bonaire is a very sleepy island, only when a cruise ship moors in the port, everything comes to Life and a perfectly tailored to the tourism program enliven the streets. And the fun has its Ivalucrew here to use the mooring lines of the Crusaders to the balance until it is expelled from the Captain.
We just sat in a beach, there are the vierzehnjaehrige Laura Dekker went about the way that takes just with their yacht "Guppy" the record attempt of the youngest single-handed circumnavigation of the globe and also the time to Bonaire.
Tomorrow we dive and the afternoon to Klein-Bonaire.
That's it for now, it warmly greet
