Has intended to anchor off this beautiful beach, which all reviews said was great fir swimming and snorkeling. However wind and waves made landing the tender impossible, and water too sandy to see much when swimming. So repositioned to Oranjestat instead.

2 day sail with big following swell. Wind gusting mid 30kts on the quarter, waves occasionally at 3m, pushing us along, rolling lots but very safe. Lost a fish that broke the line 😭. Going too fast (about 7kts at that time). Lots of dead flying fish on the deck on arrival, but I'm not eating them !! Warm and sunny and very windy the whole way. A really nice sail.

Comfortable overnight sail to Aruba to await a weather window for Colombia. Enjoyed some carnival atmosphere in the few days here, and had a nice day out with a hire car.

Strong wind with a few squalls on day 1. Mostly down wind we just had the Jib out until we got close to Colombia. Not many ships and it’s always nerve racking passing by a foreign enemy’s coast. Definitely a foundational passage for what is ahead.

Long spinnaker run. 5knts on 8knts wind.
