At the moment it is still a balmy 28 degrees and we don't expect it to drop much over night. Not certain what we are doing this eveing, we are going to go over to the local bar here in Spanish Waters and then judge whether to go into Wilenstad for the New Year.
We had some rather sad news today, Triton who was one of our neighbours at the marina in Trinidad was attacked by pirates on their way to Grenada the day after we left. They were held hostage for 5 hours while everything was stripped off the boat, as far as we know they weren't hurt too much - but there for the grace of God..... They had been joined by their son from South Africa and were so looking forward to a cruise in the Grenadines, we just hope they are all safe and well now. We hope that we are now well away from the danger zones and our only worry is a visit from some well meaning DEA agents near the Colombia coast.
I have managed to add some photo's tonight - one is of an old fort just across from where we are anchored, and the other is the capital Willemstad about 5 miles away.
I am now going to 'glam' myself up for New Year - this means jumping off the back of the boat for a wash, trying to find something that isn't creased or stinking of bilges!
Happy New Year to Everyone - love and miss you!
