Boarding the Oosterschelde

 Today is the day to board the ship! I and the other passengers assembled on the docks near the restaurant La Kaleta. The waters around the island are too rough and treacherous for the ship itself to dock here, so it was anchored some distance offshore, and we were shuttled to the ship in groups of three in a small zodiac.  



The Oosterschelde is fairly comfortable compared to other boats I've been on. It's got hot showers, its own water desalinator to make drinking water from sea water, and a bi-level salon for meals and relaxing. I did not expect to have internet but someone brought a Starlink so we did!
