World Clean Up Day (celebrated on the third Saturday in September bringing together people worldwide to clean up and care for their communities) did not pass unnoticed by the cruising community in Curaçao.

Jean-Marc and Karen from SY Blowing Bubbles report on how they organised an 'underwater' clean up at the Spanish Water anchorage, which involved not only cruisers, but members of the Curacao community as well.
