5 October Back in Bonaire

I’m back on board! Back in the warm air of Bonaire. For David there were boat presents and Christmas mince pies, for me the joy of being home.

This weekend was the annual swim out to Klein Bonaire island and back: a distance of about 1 ½ miles. At 8am the first race for competitive swimmers begins. Once they have completed the course it is time for the families and recreational swimmers to take a more leisurely approach where it’s all about taking part. We were told that there were more than a thousand participants in this event.
