BACK TO CURACAO


The first Caribbean sunset we watched through the plane window promised us sunny days ahead. We needed them for work. Dry boatyard is also giving us an advantage of not bringing mud on the boat with our sandals. It is hot. The first two days we drink a lot of water without using boatyard facilities, then our bodies adjust and besides work our exercise is climbing up and down the steep ladder to use the powder room. Once or twice a day a cloud floats by in a light breeze, that dies down in a total calm. Mosquitoes enjoy. November is a quiet month, if we left Curacao now, we would be motoring. Sailing starts in December.

An animal shelter nearby is our vocal entertainment. After a short solo, the rest of the dogs join in, competing with workers' radios playing wrap music.

We can rest our ears by going into the grocery store in a complimentary mini bus, that comes to the marina every morning except on Sunday, and brings us back in an hour and a half. Otherwise, how would Polde survive without the beer in this heat?
