SHORT DISTANCE, LONG WAY

 
Curacao Marina is squeezed into a mosquito hole at the end of Willemstad commercial port. November 24th we left it, glad to feel the open water breeze again. Going east we had to motor sail to Klein Curacao, where we anchored for the stormy night, dragging the anchor a few times on the stony bottom and ended up drifting along the island until the first day light, when we raised sails again. We tacked in the ENE wind all the way to Bonaire, storms passing over us almost every hour. In a short break of foul weather we picked up a mooring along the Kralendijk shore, happy to be on one of our favorite islands again.
