We're here!!!‏ (December 21, 2009 4:25:05 PM)

Hi everyone!

We arrived safe and sound this afternoon at around 3:30 p.m. I think in my email I said we would be here Monday AM, I actually meant Tues. AM. We made really good time. Weather cooperated, and we felt all our wishes for "Godspeed", as the waves and wind pushed us along at an average of a little over eight knots per hour. We usually travel at 6 knots, so having the wind and current behind us was a bonus. We are exhausted, but relieved to be here. It was a great trip, no one was sick, we did four hour shifts for night so everyone slept. We only had one broken dish and one broken wire on the generator, and the best part, no water IN the boat!

We are on a mooring in town, we just ate supper, I cooked up the Mahi Mahi that Dylan caught, he was yummy! Bonaire is really, really flat! You can't see the south end until you are right up close. We are pooped and going to bed. We will write again in a few days and send some pics of the trip.

Thanks for all your emails and good wishes. It must have helped, because we had a wonderful, really enjoyable, comfortable trip!

Lots of love and hugs from the Dutch Dreamers
