Curacao to Aruba, the last leg...

Thursday 25th June 2009

Bob and I spent twelve days at Curacao Marine, cleaning, varnishing, provisioning and generally getting Daisy ready for her trip to Aruba. It was extremely hot and dusty working at the boatyard, but the staff were extremely helpful and always on hand when needed. The Budget Marine store on site also proved very useful.
The supermarkets in Curacao are almost as well stocked as the ones on mainland America, so it’s not usually a problem finding fresh ingredients that are often hard to come by throughout the rest of the Caribbean.

Some people we had come to know at the marina, who were also on their Oyster 56, invited us for dinner, which was lovely as we had both been so busy throughout the day with our preparations for sailing, I hadn’t had chance to even think about dinner. They made delicious pasta with mushrooms, which they served with some wonderful wine. We had such a lovely evening.
