Bonaire is a beautiful place. Amazing amazing waters, some of the clearest I’ve ever seen. The entire island is protected so the fish are quite large and colorful. I know that there have been numerous posts about this spot so I’ll try to keep it short.
It all started with a fish. A very very big fish. A 200 pound 5 foot 1000 dollar yellowfin tuna. We had tuna for lunch and dinner for our entire passage, we caught the fish a few hours in. The remainder of the passage went well, Lucy and I had a nice shift from 7-10 pm every night.
We made it to Bonaire and one of the first places we found was the ice cream shop. Homemade ice cream after five days at sea is one of the best things in the world. Flavors including tamarind, cinnamon, passion fruit, and Bounty were new to us. So yummy.
The atmosphere of Bonaire was cute and touristy. Lots of little shops dotted the streets and cruise ships filled the huge docks. Many many many different cultures came together in this one small island. Bonaire is visited for all sorts of water sports. Windsurfing, scuba diving, snorkeling are among the top. We were fortunate enough to try all of these activities and loved them all.
Bonaire definitely felt like a vacation spot. Bonaire hasn’t seen the last of us…
