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!

Ryan & Sophie Sailing
Ever wondered what life looks like on the other side of quitting your job to sail around the World? We did too. And then, we took the plunge. Welcome to our channel, where we tell the stories of our sailing voyage, from zero experience to full-time cruising! We are Ryan and Sophie, an American guy and a French girl who met in Sweden, on a cold night of March 2015. Shortly thereafter, we decided to leave our corporate jobs to live a big sailing adventure around the World together. We had no experience of sailing at all before we started, and had honestly no idea what we were getting ourselves into. Turns out, with a bit of willpower and work, anything goes. The dream came true on June 5th of 2018, when we finally got to set sail from our home port in Stockholm. Don't forget to subscribe (it helps us a lot ;)) and check out our website at www.ryanandsophie.com for more sailing-related photos and articles!
