En route to Bonaire , the diving paradise! 🇧🇶 #79
If you have been following our channel in the last year, you know how big a deal moving back onboard and sailing to Bonaire was for us. When this video is released, it has only been a few weeks since we arrived and we have enjoyed every second of our time spent onboard!!!
It took us 8 months to return to sea since the day we first arrived in Curacao, and while this video may just look like another day at sea, for us, it was the moment we got our lives back :)
While Curacao is a wonderful destination to visit and we loved our time there, it isn’t the most practical to cruise, mostly due to the lack of anchorage arounds the island.
Bonaire doesn’t have ANY anchorage, but a field of affordable mooring balls right in front of the island’s main city, making it a very attractive destination for cruisers.
We tried to catch the best weather window possible to sail Eastwards to Bonaire, and while this was the best weather window we could catch, the rest of this first passage of our season was like… the fist pancake of a batch, not amazing!
But after 8 hours of B-lining our way to Bonaire, we finally caught our first glimpse of the white sandy beaches and turquoise waters of Bonaire, where we are literally jumping in the water EV-ERY-DAY!
