Our last night at sea was lovely, we switched the pole onto the Port tack about 4pm so we could lay the north tip of Bonaire and then sail around the west end without changing things in the dark. The wind lightened up to 15 or 15 knots so it ended up being a little slower than we planned however as the sun came up we saw the outline of the island. At 7am we dropped the pole and sailed on the wind right into the bay at Kralendijk.

Here's a little clip I posted on instagram from our sail

We managed to grab a mooring ball off the town and by 9am we all secure in our new home for a while at least.

Clearing in was super easy and free, we pay US$10 a night for a mooring ball, $10 a week to access a dinghy dock in a marina and $45 for a dive permit that lasts a year. We can dive straight from the boat and there's over a 100 marked dive sites we can access by dinghy or hire car. We will get straight in the water.
