Room rate plus electricity
Today is our last full day at Lagoon Resort and Apartments. We need to go pay my dive tab and deal with the plus, our air conditioning for the time at Lagoon. They give a room rate but in their app they inform you that air conditioning is extra. We didn’t get the app until …
Last day Diving in Curaçao
Well readers I have gotten 29 open water dives for a little over 20 hours underwater. I also have two Discover Scuba dives as well. Karl was an excellent dive master. Peter and Jason also did well. I got 52 minutes out of a regular 12l. tank for my last dive using the 12 lbs …

This morning was the beginning of diving with Karl. Karl comes down from Amsterdam to Curaçao for three months to take people diving. Karl does a good job and he wanted to work on my breathing and buoyancy. Yesterday they had me on a regular tank and Peter said it was a 45 minute dive …

Short post with pictures
Howdy everyone, we had a relaxing day today. Spent some time this morning visiting Hofi Mango. Hofi Mango was a plantation that grew sugarcane to make rum and Mangos. Hofi Mango has the only sugar mill on the island, Curaçao isn’t good for growing sugarcane. Mangoes do grow well, they taste good too. They have …
Curaçao
Yesterday we went to the capital city here and walked around a little and had lunch. It was very touristy. It is a port city for cruise ships and they seem to cater to that crowd. Restaurants were not as plentiful as I expected. They did have Subway, Pizza Hut and KFC. There are a …
The storm didn’t stop us!
We had quite the day already! We were up 2:45 this morning after light sleep wondering if we were going to get snow delayed. We were fortunate that our plane made it to St Louis last night around midnight so it was there this morning for our flight. Flights that were cancelled or delayed were …
Boat update
So last fall I had taken the boat to be painted. It was a major fail. So it had to be redone. There was a lot of sanding to be done. The original color I had picked was a blue metallic but it did not get stirred well and all the metal flake was left …
