Eventyr was stored at Opus Marina in Curacao for over a year while Trish and I spent a year working for GE. She held up very well in the hot but arid climate unique to these islands. After a complete bottom job, she's back in cruising service.

Eventyr's hull is stripped of the old, crumbling bottom paint and ready for epoxy.

Trish is earning some sweat equity as she puts on the first layer of antifouling.

Bottom painting, Willie Nelson style. It is hot a few hundred miles from the equator.

Walk to the slipway? No, I'll take the boat.

His wonders in the deep are truly amazing (Trans-World Radio, Bonaire, N.A.).

Carnaval in Curacao. Can you hear it?

Bum-da-dum-dum, Bum-da-dum-dum. I love hammering some drums.

Where Curacao gets some of its power. The Hyundai Atos is small, but gives it scale.

My mom always asks if "I'm eating good." Yes, Trish makes sure of that!
