Curacao

From Los Roques we sailed straight to Curacao. We had good winds so we could enter the narrow channel of Spanish Water under sails.
The anchorage here is good holding and very well protected, so we can relax a bit at the moment.

For the rest the new damper plate is ordered and should arrive this week, we're looking forward to get to Colombia.

Isla la Blanquilla, Islas Los Roques
