Adriano installs a 3 kg washing machine aboard Califa in Curaçao, completing a two-day job that required custom-built wooden supports cut with a circular saw borrowed from the neighboring boat Auros.29:07 The machine, bought in the United States but delivered missing a part, was mounted inside a cabin locker with water inlet and discharge hoses routed to the bathroom and a direct electrical bypass wired around the safety pin.27:47 At peak centrifuge speed it draws 10 amps net, consuming roughly 2 amp-hours per full wash-and-spin cycle; Adriano runs it at midday when solar panels carry the load without touching the batteries.50:08 The installation completes a progression — solar capacity first, then a watermaker, now the washing machine — that Adriano says eliminates the last logistical anxiety on arrival in a new port.39:45 Curaçao itself gets favorable coverage: customs and immigration were free and welcoming, a free public dock accepts dinghies, and a bus runs to the market every Tuesday and Thursday at 08:15.2:02 The crew also rents scooters to tour the island's historic Willemstad fortifications and reaches Grotknip beach, described as one of Curaçao's most scenic.16:28 A 3 kg boat washing machine drawing 2 amp-hours per cycle is viable on solar alone when run at peak sun hours.38:57
