⛵️Sail with Us! https:///www.lifeat8knots.com/sail-with-us -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This is why we do what we do… Yesterday we had the opportunity to host Jenny as she and her family celebrated 40 years of living. When Jenny was born, doctors said she would not live past the age of 15…but here she is today, snorkeling on Bonaire with her mom, dad, and teenage daughter! And it felt like the universe conspired to give her an amazing day… The skies were beautiful. The moorings on Klein Bonaire opened up for us, one-by-one, to enjoy crystal clear waters for snorkeling; Jenny‘s favorite activity, and the reason she chose Bonaire for her celebration. And we all witnessed one of the most intense green flash sunsets we’d ever seen. These are the days we love. The days we get to play a small part in someone’s story. To help them celebrate their victories, reflect on a life well-lived, and dream about the future.

Boat diving on Bonaire? JUST DO IT! While Bonaire is a top destination for shore diving, don't rule out a boat dive - especially to the "wild side" of the island. James recently went out with Bonaire East Coast Diving, the owners of the ONLY BOAT on Bonaire that's built to navigate the island's east coast waters. The Zodiac Hurricane 920 is a custom build military RIB, powered by two 250hp Yamaha outboard engines. Check out the boat, and some sweet turtles 🤙, in this short video: ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⛵️Sail with Us! https:///www.lifeat8knots.com/sail-with-us 🪢 Shop L@8K Gear: https://www.lifeat8knots.com/shop Follow Us in Real Time: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifeat8knots Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lifeat8knots

This weekend we dove on Bonaire's "wild side". The east coast of Bonaire is known for spotting large ocean dwellers like nurse sharks and turtles. It's also known for it's ragged shoreline, which can make entering and exiting dive sites a challenge. That's why we hired BAS Diving as our guide and Dive Master. Check out our 80 minute drift dive, condensed to 3 minutes. 🤿 #lifeat8knots #bonairediving #divingbonaire #eastcoastbonaire --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ⛵️Sail with Us! https:///www.lifeat8knots.com/sail-with-us 🪢 Shop L@8K Gear: https://www.lifeat8knots.com/shop Follow Us in Real Time: Instagram: https://www.instagram.com/lifeat8knots Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/lifeat8knots
