A FREAK SWELL wrecks our Williams Minijet 😭 and We dive the famous Salt Pier in Bonaire | Aequus Ep9

We visit the Famous Salt Pier once again but this time to dive from the shoreline and in the company of our good friends Ryan and Sophie from @RyanSophieSailing .

We see some very unusual sea life and it was definitely one of the best dives so far in Bonaire.

AND…

On another supposedly ‘normal’ day James and I went to shore to do some work in an internet café and whilst we were there we had an urgent call come through from Sophie….

A freak swell comes into the bay of Bonaire and disaster strikes when our Williams Jet Tender takes a bashing and gets caught underneath the dinghy dock.

The tender fills up with sea water and as other yacht owners quickly move their tenders to safety, ours is completely underwater!!!

As we watch every yacht sway heavily from side to side we fear for Aequus and try and make it back to her as quickly as possible to ensure she doesn’t also take a hit and swing around in the opposite direction and hit the shoreline.

3 long and arduous days were spent trying to fix the Minijet, speaking to Williams UK was part of the repair process, including several visits to shore by paddle board for parts and supplies and countless oil changes!

Day 4 saw the final fate of William!!!….

Welcome to our channel and thank you for being here. After 2.5 years of sailing full time we thought we would share our wonderful journey across the sea with you. After a trip to South Africa to visit close relatives, we met a guy called Darryl.. he was a sailor who had started his sailing adventure back in the 1980's buying his first boat at the age of 28, he told us some awe inspiring stories that literally captured James' heart and mind! He was hooked....line and sinker... With barely any experience between the two of us, we bought a Bavaria C57, ''a bit like my flat in London'' is what I said. With that, the deal was done and there was no turning back. James sold his business, I left my career in London, and that was it, we had 6 months to prepare and get ourselves ready for the biggest challenge of our lives.... Hope you enjoy watching Philippa x
