Cannot delay any longer if we want to be in Curacao for Christmas. We must hoist sails. We are leaving Grenada tomorrow Sunday The weather looks to be set fair: wind  E.N.E. 10 to 15 knots with a 1 knot current with us.  We have decided to stop in Blanquilla (203nm) a Venezuelan Island on the way but far enough from mainland not to be bothered by Pirates. Only wild Donkeys and a police post as companions. The sand and coral are reputed to be wonderful. Better get the snorkels ready!…
