Bonaire #2

3 March 2016

Plans change. The wind didn’t increased. Slowly we dropped speed and our ETA became later and later. So we had to make a new plan. At lunch we dropped a fender overboard and we did a man-over-board exercise. This way we quickly got rid of the sails. We took some time to swim and after that we turned the engine on and went on engine all night. At breakfast Bonaire came in sight and we set the sails again to sail the last few miles. 

We wanted to anchor, but also that plan changed. The harbormaster had a nice spot for us at the pier. Anchoring is not allowed to protect the coral. We arranged everything with customs and a lot of the guests are on shore to look around. Tomorrow we have all day to explore the island.
