Eagle ray at Playa Kenepa Grandi

December 24, 2017 Maurice Leave a comment

We spent the afternoon at Playa Kenepa Grandi having a nice long snorkel. Most of the time, we were chasing that elusive perfect shot of an eagle ray. We saw at least two different rays today. One was quite a bit smaller than the other. The smaller one was a bit more nervous and didn’t … Continue reading Eagle ray at Playa Kenepa Grandi →

Snorkeling at Playa Kenepa Grandi

Some of the videos I’ve seen of turtles engulfed in plastic, discarded fishing nets, and other rubbish are just heartbreaking. Here on Curacao we have a special place to see turtles. If you want to … Continue reading World Turtle Day →

Life in the slow lane

September 3, 2017 Maurice Leave a comment

We’re slowing down to the Caribbean speed limit. We are still trying to get internet into our apartment, with no luck. We were told 4 weeks ago it would take 2-3 weeks and we’ve heard nothing. We don’t get any responses from their email help system. sigh It’s very very annoying to have to go … Continue reading Life in the slow lane →

To call him a dog hardly seems to do him justice, though inasmuch as he had four legs, a tail, and barked, I admit he was, to all outward appearances. But to those who knew him well, he was a perfect gentleman.
