Chapter 131: Mast adventures and Aruba!

We started our week continuing our time in Bonaire.  Sunday was a day to work on some of the recommendations brought about by our rigging inspection.  These included replacing our topping lift to the boom and two of our backstays,… Continue Reading →

Chapter 130: A Photo Journey

This past week we spent a day at Washington Slagbaai National Park on Bonaire. It is one of the most incredible places we have yet visited. Rather that describe it in words, we thought we would let photos tell the… Continue Reading →

Chapter 129: Beauty in Bonaire
