ON DRY

July 10th, time to prepare 'NADA' for her well deserved rest. We depended on her in storms and calms and she never let us down.
With the boys on board we left Spaanse Water and sailed to Willemstad. We waited a while for the pontoon bridge to open, after all, we are on the island time, and then through the St.Annabaai channel towards Curacao Marina. As you loose the sight of the attractive Willemstad, the industrial harbour begins. Metal everywhere, some still in use and some discarded.

Curacao Marina is small, it is mostly used as temporery berths,
  before  the boats  are pulled out of the water

Dry marina, however is big, in two levels. We wished to have 'NADA' on the bottom level and we got a nice spot in a line of other Amels, right infront of the office and under flood lights. A piece of mind.

A few nervous moments

By one of the stands a flower opened her eyes into the blue. Not the sky, the blue bottom of our boat. Life is precious, the quality of it is relative. Our flower is happy in the shade, it could be baking in a hot Curacao sun.
