CURACAO  20/1/10
 
Up early and drove up to the Western end of the island and found a delightful cove at Playa Knipbaai where we swam and snorkeled and chilled out in the sun.  Lunch at a diving centre a few coves down.  Found an excellent supermarket so stocked up on fresh goods for our three days to Cartagena in Columbia.  Dinner at the 'Boat House' a dingy ride away, excellent Malaysian buffet.

Visited the Maritime Museum, well set up and a good history of the area and why Curacoa was so important as part of the Dutch West Indian Company.
Bought fruit at the Venezualan floating market and back to the yacht to make ready for sea.
Wind 26knots and a large sea but all going our way so not uncomfortable.
Just been buzzed by the Venezualan Coast guard who called us up and asked for all our details after they flew over us, good to know they are keeping an eye on us.
