Another sunny day, no fishing today, fridge still
full of dorado, that was eaten for dinner this evening. Much homework, aand
Amanda found a new book to read!!! She has now read all the books we brought for
her, hope I can find some more english books somwhere soon!
More leatherwork again today, and some sunbathing.
Amanda was close to melting today, but we were going too fast to stop for a
swim, so we sat on the after steps, feet in the water, and poured "cool" water
over each other. Very successful, and fun!
The lights of Curacao are now abeam about 30 nm
away, still about 50 nm to go until we turn the southern corner of Aruba. The
plan is to find a nice anchorage, and spend the day/night on the hook, swimming
etc. and then wandering into the marina to get some stuff sorted out. The brand
new plastimo cooker that I fitted in Amsterdam has ceased to work, well to be
acurate, we took some saltwater through the hatch, and the corrosion has
rendered one burner inop, and also the electric lighting system. It is all
riveted together, so I can't get into it to sort it! So a new one is
in order I think. Oh well, I guess that's boats for you. I don't think it
is too wise to head off into the paciffic with a dodgy cooker!
