Bonaire Bound and Fish for Breakfast

The Starship and crew has spent five incredible days in the paradise of Los Roques and Las Aves, Venezuela. 


While difficult to leave we are starting to run out of fresh food, we have scoured all the available beaches, and I am sure the rum stores are low.

Our onboard fishermen Shawn and Chase during our early morning departure to Bonaire hooked up some delicious breakfast barracuda and a yellowfin tuna for later in the day.

Sashimi in five minutes! Marinated with sesame oil, soy sauce, ginger and wasabi, this treat was melt in your mouth incredible.

The seas picked up a bit on our passage to Bonaire giving us an extra push towards our destination and an exciting run for the dudes.


A flat, coral island Bonaire is a mere 112 square miles made up of beautiful coral reefs below and cactus above. So flat we didn't even see the island until only a few miles offshore.

Rounding the southern most tip we spied these interesting triangles and tiny perfectly symmetrical buildings on the shore. In days past Bonaire was known for its many grades of salt from the salt ponds that comprise a large part of its terrain. When a cargo ship wanted to load salt, they anchored offshore from the pyramid that symbolized the grade of salt available at the site. White salt, pink salt, orange salt all stored in small buildings near the shore for easy transport to the rest of the Caribbean and Europe.  

The crew of the Starship has arrived in Bonaire!


Cold Beer, fresh veggies, and a new island to pillage and plunder!
