Andreas,

I'm glad you found that grouper. Did you perhaps have any pictures (why weren't we there ?)

Hi Kukuisa,

Yes, one of our guests took pictures! You find them foolowing this link:

What a pretty baby!!
Flying gunnard is great, too. Such vivid blue on his wings.

We had guests in for dinner tonight. They were in Punda (dry) and checking out the fishing boats and fresh produce from Venezuela. They saw a number of small reef sharks at the surface feeding on the fish scraps. Gustele and Kukuisa, do you see sharks when you dive the wreck in the harbor?

I never saw sharks while diving in the harbor. We occasionally see small dolphins at the surface in the harbor. Maybe they have seen these and thought they were reef sharks.

The bad sea conditions around Westpunt made us leave the beaten tracks, these days - and I got lucky, running into my 3rd Curacao Manta Ray at Seldom/Lighthouse!!!

It is good to have boats at OEW, so we can go where we want, even if most shore entries on the South-West coastline are barely accessible due to some big wave activity for the last couple of days!

But the weather can only get better, and we keep on smiling

When do they anticipate things to get back to normal? I'm headed Curacao way on the 23rd.

Thanks!

Weather Underground is a great place to track weather conditions before you get to the island.

Thanks - Found this webcam as well

How's the vis? Anyone dive today or planning a dive in the next few?

I have been diving all week in Curacao. Visibility is not what I am used to. Depending on where you dive there is sand on the coral also. Was in Bonaire before here. Was a little better there. The ocean has finally calmed down today.
