Bonaire Hikers

A boat would sure be a small place to live with kids who didn’t get along like peas and carrots.

We’ve got two seahorses who live underneath the boat. They can always be found within about a twenty-foot radius.

Bonaire’s longest tree. Windblown and ragged, but even at the end (top) it’s fresh and green. Driving around off-road in Bonaire this is the sort of thing you stop to see. Sort of like the roadside attractions in the States—World’s Largest Ball of Twine.

We never run across anybody on our little driving adventure days.

We’d buy this “fixer-upper” just for the tree.

Hikes have been treacherous. Someone is always squealing, followed quickly by, “Papa, get the thorn out of my flip-flop.” Somehow we’ve avoided any major mishaps with the cacti.

Donkeys, donkeys, and more donkeys.

Starting to get the hang of windsurfing. They are having fun, but the slow speed of windsurfing with smaller beginner sails is making it hard for the kids to stick with it. We keep encouraging them, so hopefully they’ll keep progressing to bigger sails. Either way, it’s another water skill for them to add to their growing list.

    1. Seahorses, we all love them, but the kids think they are ” boring, and don’t do anything” – hard to impress these two. 😉

      And mostly unplugged…

  1. Did you sell your International and Airstream to the same person? I saw a pair just like yours travelling in Michigan today.

    1. No. Airstream went out to San Fran, and the International went to a friend in Florida. Glad to know there are more like us out there, though. 😉

  2. I could see your kids really loving wing foiling. Less stuff, more playful and definitely the future of wind powered water sport. It’s a natural for those two water people. Probably seeing it on the kiter side of the island.

    1. Oh wow, those are cool. Not sure how much room the kite would take up. On this boat, it is all about the storage space. These classics were not made for liveaboard use, or for all the new water sports out now. We’ve seen people foil surfing – they want in on that! 🙂
