Boats

There are some interesting boats/ships/yachts that come to dock at Bonaire.  

This one is "Game Changer" owned by Karen Lo the heiress to the Vitasoy (soy milk) fortune from Japan.

Billionaire (owner of the video game company Valve) Gabe Newell's yacht "Rocinante" docked here for a day or so.

Bonaire can only accommodate two ships at a time at the piers.  With a cargo ship in port, sometimes these yachts have to anchor in the ocean.

A Green Peace boat the "Arctic Sunrise" was in port for a week.  They opened up for tours.

We often see coast guard ships from the Dutch Navy that dock here in between their duties catching drug runners and illegals from South America.

The "Melissa"  a wooden ketch, is a permanent resident in the Bonaire Harbor.  She sails a nightly gourmet dinner cruise. We have been on her several times and its a delight to see the island from the sea.




Yesterday we were out on a snorkel and dinner cruise with our visitors.  We came across another sail boat full of our gang and they took this shot of Rick and I on our boat.
