Wonderful Klein Curacao
August 19, 2025 in Curacao ⋅ 🌬 29 °C
In the morning Andrew gets his dive stamp from Dive Friends.

After an exceptional 4 hour sailing from Bonaire, we reached Klein Curacao.
Our fishermen on board are busy.
Andrew catches a smaller Tuna in the morning and a big colorful Mahi Mahi (Goldmakrele) on the ocean.

Anchor ground is good on sand.
30 m chain + bridle give a good hold. Anchor alarm keeps silent.

Egbert prepares Sashimi for us.

The night is full of stars and 16 kn of wind cools our skin during the night.
No waves, very calm.

Next morning Kathy, Steve, Jenny and Andrew swim in the crystal clear water to the beach.Read more

Airplane 20 m above Mahana

Airplane 20 m above Mahana flying to the runway of Bonaire...disturbing and wonderful impressing

Screaming engines shake our hulls.

AIS on vessels and airplanes send on different frequencies. So they could only see our navigation lights, as we could see theirs.Read more

We could enjoy the famous pontoon bridge with the historic Dutch buildings in the backgrounds.

We passed along an ocean giant very close.

Had a look at the drilling vessel in Caracas Bay.

Great job by Steve.Read more
