Bonaire

Our journey time from Grenada to Bonaire of 57 hours, with light winds and and a short swell, was only possible with the help of the engine. We found poling out the foresail a challenge and eventually one of the crew had to go aloft.Night watches were enlivened with star gazing and with our Sky Scout we were able to start to identify and recieve background information about the heavens.The tuna, after a satisfying struggle for the fisherman, made delicious sushi and a fine lunch, plus several bags of tuna steaks for the freezer.
