Wood Trim Around Bathtub
Here we are again. Since 02.02. Ivalu is the anchor in the bay English Waters in Curacao. For the route from Trinidad to Curacao, we have not used 72 hours. The lodge is always in parts moved in the two-digit node area with wind 20 to 30 Nodes have to amount to about 160 nautical miles Etmal respectively. Overnight, we are due to recently encountered cases of piracy off the coast of Venezuela frequently sailed without lights, but we can run with the radar in order to be able to recognize in time, if a suspicious ship approaching us. From Trinidad, we are initially about 50 miles north sailed to get enough distance from the coast and then go to the west of the archipelago Los Roques and Las Aves by up to Curacao, where we arrived on Wednesday morning. The English Waters Bay has a 500-meter-long river-like entrance and behind it opens a huge Anchor Bay, which probably protected bay in the Caribbean.
Yesterday We really wanted to insert a 'Fix, cleaning and cleanup, we have had to convince the same age but of our two neighbors which Irish boat, swim rather spend the day with them on the beach and snorkeling. By bus we drove about two hours to a beautiful beach in the north of the island and have spent the day there. For snorkeling, it was super nice there, with coral and thousands of fish in all colors, shapes and sizes. A small fish is in love with Babs and is about an hour yielded not leave her side and farther than half a meter from her. In the bushes on the beach we have iguanas, about half a meter long lizards that look as if they are from the prehistoric have strayed into the wrong era saw. Some animals were very tame and we were able to approach them from a few centimeters. Our bus back to Willemstad four clock but we missed by six clock has driven another. So we got a beer from the beach and so rumgebracht time. About seven clock we were in Willemstad and instead of the next bus at 10 to take back to English Waters, we turned night into day and are this morning at 5 clock came back to the boat, where we have all cooked together and on time have fallen to the sunrise in the bunk.
Yeah, we come to the cleanup day but still not around, who is now your turn. On the beach there is a washing machine, there just turns our laundry in a circle, then we can try to fill our empty gas bottles. The host of the beach was also the first native here, with whom we had contact. We asked him how we come to town for Einklarieren, as he has pressured us 15 guilders in his hand and said we should take the bus and come in the evening for a beer :-)
