Arrived in Curacao after a great sail across from Bonaire- spent the night at Klein Curacao on the way

Bonaire- fantastic diving and hiking- Mathew has left unscathed with ripple effects from a large system. Settling down now. Bonaire is a Marine Park so anchoring prohibited- must pick up and pay for a Park mooring ball off the town beach.

Just arrived from Bequia via Aves de Sotavento for a night- Venezuela. Great trip of 480mls. 15-25 knts easterly trades. Good passage. Great Customs, Immigration and Coast Guard experience. Looking forward to the diving and land exploring
