Before leaving we decided to go for a dawn snorkel.... i'm still alive so it wasn't a box jelly.
The winds are light, but we are making reasonable progress passing Curaco and then on to Aruba.
We should be off of the coast of Colombia tomorrow lunch time (oh god!).

Our new diving instructor was so exited with his certificate he insisted we all had a early morning snorkel before we departed Bonaire.

first day out from Bonaire ,light winds so we have to play, the second Spinni gives us an extra knot but slow progress 150 miles in 24 hrs. we have been hot and steamy.

As the boat's captain, weather reading should be one of my skills, but other than to wonder at the beauty of our sunset, I was unable to predict when the winds might improve.
It's great to be out at sea again, and especially great to be continuing with our policy of experimentation... two kites at once! What a sight...
