BOAT TRIP
Come our third day in Bonaire, Taty has a surprise up his sleeve and has organised a boat trip over to Klein Bonaire, a tiny uninhabited island right opposite the capital city of Kralendijk. At first I was sceptical about leaving one of the most amazing freestyle locations on the planet for a trip into the unknown, but I could tell by the way Taty was pleading that we might be onto something special. Once at the harbour in town, all of my worries were cast aside when Taty pointed out the boat we would be cruising in for the day, aptly named ‘Meal Ticket’. Although, once I laid eyes on this beauty, to me this ride was going to be more like a ‘Dream Ticket’. Prior to our outing, I’d been expecting us all in some tiny rowing boat with a clapped-out engine, but instead we were going in a pimp, three-story motor cruiser, with two huge outboards and room galore on board. In a word ‘luxury’, so, without any more questions, we loaded up the boat with all the gear and even threw in a cooler full of ice-cold beers for the return journey. All of a sudden this trip was coming together very nicely indeed!
