It’s a bit chaotic, but it’s not all bad! 

You wouldn’t know it by watching this video, but Bonaire is currently on level 6 alert, which the absolute highest on the island. Bonaire is an island of 20000 inhabitants, and we arrived in Bonaire at the end of January, there was only 11 cases and almost no restrictions. 

A couple of weeks ago, we started noticing the numbers going up at a way faster pace, and it was confirmed that new strains of the corona virus had sadly made their way to the island. 

Last year’s lockdown in Saint Martin left us effectively locked in our boat for about three months. We were stuck in a dirty inland lagoon with no mean to escape. Changing anchorage was neither allowed nor possible and swimming behind our boat was neither allowed or attractive.

The situation in the entire ABC islands is sadly way way worse than a year ago, but we feel grateful for the sensible measures that the authorities have taken and for our ability to continue sailing, swimming, snorkeling and diving. 

While we are very sad for the what is happening around us, we feel a lot more hopeful than last year and we feel a sense of immense gratitude for the possibility to still be able to enjoy our lives onboard
