08.00hrs, all is well, we are still on our
course of 270degrees, both Donal and Kevin had a great night's
sleep
The day went by quickley, with the trade wind pushing us along very nicely.
during the day Donal brushed up
on his SSB radio skills and kept in touch with some of the other yachts . while
the rest of us read our books and
caught up on the nap's.
20.00hrs We could see " BONAIRE " in
the distance while we had our roast lamb dinner, We rolled up the the headsail
while we ate the food in an effort to stop the rolling, but it really dident
work very well, meanwhile, Aileen cooked
another " Colette O'Sullivan" loaf of bread for tomorrow's starving
crew.
00.00hrs We arrieved at the marina in "
Kralendijk " and tied up with the help of Rebecca, one of the girls on board the
large motor yacht
called " Champaigne Cher " which was moored behind us, another girl on board the
same ship " Glenda " , both girls were american
but Glenda lives in France when not at sea . Glenda is very friendly with
another Cork Architect called Kieran Mc
Donagh . small worlk

exhausted ourselves talking to the american girls and a very brief look at
our surroundings, we hit the bunk's
