Ennia Banco di Caribe Optinam 2009 Team sails Klein Curacao Challenge  

The nine kids that qualified for the Optinam 2009 will be challenging the rough seas between Klein Curacao and Curacao. They will most probably need more than four hours to sail the more than 30 kilometer stretch and will need to survive high seas and gusty winds. On Saturday 13th they will leave Klein Curacao at 11:00 and are expected to arrive at the Lions Dive Hotel at around 15:00 (depending on windstrength).

The kids sail The Challenge for many reasons.
