S/V L'ORIENT

Greetings from South America We've crossed that magic line in the sea......we call it "the Bonaire line".......the point from which getting back to the comfortable Eastern Caribbean becomes a major pain in the ass....as you are too far west. We're now in Santa Marta, Colombia after a 3 night sail that was blasé, boisterous, then terrifying. We've cruised the Eastern Caribbean for a long time. Everything was comfortable.........and armed with Kirstin's encyclopedic knowledge of where to find anything on any island, life was easy.....almost too easy. Rum punch and arepas on a Sunday afternoon on Bonaire - you got it! A gluten-free rum punch at 2:00 PM......accounting seems pretty far away We even know the right beaches to pick up family by dinghy from the airport. Pictured below is Emily and Kirstin (her driver) starting another fun week on the boat with us. Train (DC) to the planes (DC-Houston-Bonaire) and finally via dinghy to the boat...........Em
